GPS is vulnerable to jamming—here’s how we might fix it

GPS technology is vulnerable to jamming, as demonstrated by a Widerøe Airlines flight in Norway that had to abort its landing due to GPS interference likely caused by Russian military exercises. This incident highlights the widespread issue of GPS disruptions globally, with both military and civilian applications being affected. The availability of inexpensive devices that can disrupt GPS signals poses a threat not only to aviation but also to various other sectors, such as transportation and gaming. Efforts are being made to address these vulnerabilities and enhance the resilience of GPS technology.
