Feb 05, 2024 (newstodate): Intelligence reports show that Russia has deployed a fixed jamming system to its military exclave at Kaliningrad, enclosed by Lithuania.
According to The Telegraph, the system named Tobol is thus now active in the Baltic and Nordic region, interfering with the GPS guidance of aviation and maritime traffic.
Speaking to The Telegraph, Estonia’s military chief says that a surge in disruptions has been detected in an area stretching all the way from Finland, through the Baltic states and Poland.
The problem is now considered 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.
