Defense analysts are concerned that China's participation in Europe's Galileo project, an alternative to the U.S. GPS system, will enable them to develop precision guided munitions and "smart weapons."
U.S. smart bombs have built-in redundancy to prevent jamming of GPS satellite signals by adversaries.
Scientists at the Ministry of Defence have invented the world's first 'smart', satellite-guided artillery shell, which military analysts believe will revolutionise warfare.
Fred Kaplan argues that the new generation of 'smarter' bombs and munitions have the same limitations and risks as the previous generations.
