GPS. The system can be turned off in specific regions (no idea how, it's classified, but they've actually done it so it's not just a wild notion), and portions of the signal are already encrypted such that they're only available to the US military. There would be little stopping them from sending altered signals or just turning it off.
Many missile systems, aircraft and fighting vehicles rely on GPS to function as expected.
If you need a device for navigation - get something that supports other constellations (i.e. Galileo) rather than just GPS.
