Anyone got any good links/books on how it works? I don't mean "there's 24 satellites and 5 have to be in view and there's this thing called RAIM and now there's WAAS..." I mean "this is technically what happens. Here is the equipment and how it works. Here's what happens if China shoot down one of the GPS satellites. etc."

I need a pretty good understanding in order to write a paper about UAVs and the Air Force's reliance (JDAMs) on GPS (and vulnerability as a result?).
