It is, but the US basically can't use that mode anymore - the widespread use of GPS guided munitions which do not have the military grade receivers means the US basically doesn't enable the signal degradation mode ever - it harms their own force more then helping any counter-force.


You're talking about SA (Selective Availability) but I think the parent comment is referring to the "fine" signal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals#Precision_code


Or more likely the M-code which is the upgraded version of the P(Y) code.


Why do you assume munitions don’t have the “military grade receivers”?
