If their isn't then there's a big problem with implementing that now, which would require a retrofit of every single GPS system currently in use and likely a replacement of all GPS satellites

Edit: I'm slightly mistaken, the military uses encryption but they don't have that open for public use.

    I would hope whoever designed the satellites had the foresight to allow remote software updates.
