FAA and European regulators tighten guidance on GPS/GNSS interference as spoofing and jamming risks rise

The FAA issued substantially revised GPS/GNSS interference guidance at the same time EASA and EUROCONTROL released a coordinated Action Plan to detect, mitigate and manage jamming and spoofing threats across European airspace. The moves compel operators and ANSPs to update reporting, mitigation and resilience procedures.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • U.S. and European regulators have published parallel measures: the FAA updated its GPS/GNSS interference guidance and EASA/EUROCONTROL launched a joint Action Plan to address spoofing and jamming, setting new expectations for reporting and mitigation (see source:82939907-dfd1-4b78-abeb-96f6835e2246 and source:212076e4-0c78-4d61-a847-582c0e5427f4).

  • Operational procedures and communications will be affected: the guidance and action plan touch ANSP detection, incident reporting and NOTAM/alerting processes that operators rely on for safe flight operations (related context: source:213d74f0-5d1f-4871-931a-10cf4e2222ff).

  • The regulatory push strengthens momentum for resilient PNT investments and alternatives — including GPS modernization and secure services — aligning with recent launches and EU efforts on Galileo PRS to harden navigation against interference (see source:0bc1411a-f9d1-4ea4-9a7d-6778599665f2 and source:e10dbc4b-cb5f-4140-a080-4b5da9ef981e).
