I guess it technically isn't (I believe force multiplier would be the term) but GPS is an extremely powerful weapon if only one side has such capabilities

Not so much a weapon system as an information and coordination system.

It's like calling the camera that looks at stars for determining position a weapons system. GPS and astro guidance are both part of a redundant navigation system.
