GPS interference from new 5g network?

The US Department of Defense is warning that a new 5g system may compromise the GPS network and endanger defense, and air, marine and road navigation. Is there a communications committee or expert to evaluate this further?

It sounds unlikely in that 5G is very low energy and range. Also, 5G aerials are commonly in close proximity to roads where, of course, gps is now very commonly used. I’m no expert though!

Here is a link to a copy of the paper presented today by Dr Bradford Parkinson, 1st Vice Chair of the (US) National Space-Based PNT Advisory Board at a public meeting of that Board. Dr Bradford explains the likely consequences of the FCC decision to licence Ligardo to utilise part of the MSS radio spectrum to enhance their 5G system in the USA.
