The rapid development of information and communication technologies has significantly influenced the nature and methods of conducting modern armed conflicts. Navigation equipment based on satellite systems and inertial technologies has become an indispensable element of military operations, ensuring high precision, effective command and control, and increased operational capabilities. At the same time, the widespread use of navigation systems has created new vulnerabilities associated with electronic warfare, cyber threats, and dependence on satellite infrastructure. This article examines the positive and negative aspects of using navigation equipment in modern armed conflicts and analyzes practical examples from the Russia–Ukraine conflict and the military confrontation involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. The study also highlights current trends and future prospects for the development of military navigation technologies.
