Indeed. Fred Piper, likes the "Cyber security" word and as a founder, he can do anything he likes. Vodaphone and GCHQ are closely connected with the MSc course/Centre, and they are up to date as much they can be ;)

A few decent EMP's and the whole world will revert to firing bits of lead at each other.

A lot of military 3C systems are hardened against EMP, and various equipment such as the Abrams M1.

Biggest worry is the loss of comms/GPS satellites.

True but there's a lot of stuff that isn't

Most of a countries infrastructure would collapse: No electricity, no phones or mobiles, no internet or email. No TV or radio. Most transport paralysed including private cars. Most computers / tablets fried. Gas and water cut off.

What would happen if the next war knocked out our technology? (GPS, smartphones, Internet, etc.)
I worked for a company that worked on anti jamming GPS, so the only way to stop Military use of GPS is take out the GPS satellite.

I had dealings with the CPNI over the years.

These are the guys thinking about this kind of thing.

To be fair that is an understandable worry, map reading is such a chore

It's more that the military use the GPS for targeting/way finding, and the the comms satellites for, strangely enough, comms.....

Yeah course it is, if they'd been scouts instead of wasting their youth smoking and chasing girls this wouldn't be an issue
