GLONASS?

Probably E-LORAN. It's ground based and transmits significantly more power than GPS. That makes it harder to jam, especially over a wide area.

It's a joke, since GLONASS is the Russian system. E-LORAN would be ironic, considering that the U.S. demolished its LORAN infrastructure around 2009. What are the odds that the best backup just happens to be Starlink?

I was going to comment on the +/-8m accuracy being a let-down, but apparently that's the accuracy of GPS too.
