Tied Down
So there's a lot of really weird stuff in this report...
GPS jamming. Okay... I get that. Relatively easy to do, cheap, and apparently... effective. (Assuming this isn't disinformation for the press and the North Koreans.)
Aircraft had to declare an emergency / was "forced down"? Uhh...? (Hardly.)

Other random thoughts that come to mind:
Suuuuure we should move to ADS-B with no GPS backup... sigh.
The Cold War continues with N. Korea... or as Admiral Josh Painter's character on the aircraft carrier in Hunt for Red October said...
"This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
(One of the great lines of that movie. And delivered by Fred Dalton who played the character, it was done well.)
Someone wants the N. Koreans to feel like they had an effect on a U.S. warplane.
Same someone probably will be doing more overflights, acting like the aircraft are "bothered" by the jamming, while recording all the appropriate transmitter location, transmitter signature, and other RF intel about the jamming system to get cracking on DSP filtering to attempt to alleviate it.
