Global regulators, aviation security experts and manufacturers have failed to reach agreement on a quick technical solution to the problem of GPS spoofing near war zones, instead training pilots to address the issue. requested improvements. Reuters The report cited a person briefed on the meeting. From the report: Airlines are calling for swift action after a series of incidents in which navigation systems were disrupted, displaying incorrect locations and times even though aircraft flight controls were normal. Spoofing involves the military of one country transmitting false Global Positioning System signals to enemy planes or drones to disrupt their capabilities, and by sending incidental signals to nearby passenger aircraft. It has a significant impact.
According to industry group OpsGroup, GPS jamming and spoofing are worsening in Eastern Europe, the Black Sea and the Middle East. GPS continues to grow as a part of aviation infrastructure, replacing traditional radio beams used to guide aircraft to landing. The first international conference to bring the sector together was held in Cologne, Germany, on Thursday, hosted by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the international industry association International Air Transport Association (IATA). EASA and IATA said in a joint statement that GPS interference “can pose significant challenges to aviation safety” and requires airlines to step up data sharing on jamming and spoofing.
