Jan 30, 2024 (newstodate): Airlines are seeing a significant rise in incidents of GNSS interference - spoofing, especially in over Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
The problem is now emerging as a high-priority issue for civil aviation, causing EASA to partner with IATA to counter aviation safety threats from spoofing and jamming.
The two parties has just completed a workshop, concluding that interference with satellite-based services that provide information on the precise position of an aircraft can pose significant challenges to aviation safety.
Mitigating these risks requires short-, medium- and long-term measures, beginning with the sharing of incident information and remedies.
Measures include reporting and sharing of GNSS interference event data; guidance from aircraft manufacturers; alerting; and back-up to retain a minimum operational network of traditional navigation aids to ensure that there is a conventional back-up for GNSS navigation.
