Space-based mapping reveals immense GPS jamming footprint across Europe and the Middle East

For the first time, an experimental satellite has mapped the scale of GPS jamming from space, showing the activity is “quite a bit more” extensive than expected across Europe and the Middle East. The results quantify a broader degraded-PNT risk than previously inferred from incident reports.

NTSB preliminary findings cite GPS jamming as a factor in fatal King Air crash and related New Mexico medical-plane interference In a pre-dawn May 14 King Air crash investigation, the NTSB’s preliminary findings point to GPS jamming as an under-investigation factor. Separate reporting based on federal findings says a New Mexico medical plane’s GPS malfunctioned after military jamming in the area, despite pilots being warned.
