Commercial GPS modules are limited by the gov't regarding operation range.
hy are restricted in speed and altitude. They don't want home brew guided
mnissiles.
20 years ago a New Zealander made aclaim it is possible to build a cruise
missile for under $15000 at the time, and he wasn't taken very seriously. He
started a build log, leaving out technical stuff to a minimum. When he
scheduled a flightplan with the New Zealand version of the FAA, they took him
seriously. And so did the US. He sells high end model planes and he was
restricted in selling certain technology to customers in the Middle East. In
order to function with commercial GPS chips, he kept his flight plan to
lower altitudes and lower speeds. In stead of making a mach 4 missile he
made a WWII style pulse jet similar to a V-1 rocket. It would fly along at
300-400 mph and fly a level course along several waypoints (low altitude
object avoidance, fly below radar.)
