Some are saying this might indicate something is about to happen as this sort of broad-scale GPS jamming test is rather unusual. In addition to the seizure of new consumer nightvision systems, it raises some questions.

The USG has complete control of the GPS system, and my understanding is the civilian support can be totally disabled at will separately from military service.

If you assume these tests are legit, the most likely explanation is that they are testing countermeasures to jamming by trying to jam it through methods enemies would use.
