Washington-Manufacturers of precision guided weapons no longer care that simple GPS guidance systems can still work on their own. Jammers and deception devices threaten the future battlefield. The manufacturer noticed and resolved the threat.
The military and its industrial partners have adopted a variety of methods to ensure that bombs hit their targets. This is achieved through the use of redundant targeting systems, for example, for GPS jammer, laser guidance systems, or camera-assisted navigation researchers.
The reality of the threat is not a secret. In 2011, North Korea blocked South Korea’s GPS signals and reportedly used Russian-made jamming equipment to jam guided weapons. In the same year, Iran shot down and captured the RQ-170 Sentry UAV, claiming to have spoofed GPS data, and redirected the UAV to Iran for landing.
In short, wifi interference will spread noise, causing nearby GPS receivers (relying on weak signals from distant satellites) to be overwhelmed and lose the actual GPS signal. If the precision-guided bomb loses its lock within one minute after hitting the target, the consequences may be catastrophic.
Al Simon of Rockwell Collins Navigation Systems said: "I must firmly lock the entire operating range, including the end of the game, including the end of the game." He dispatched more than 225,000 marketing officials to integrate anti-jamming GPS in the US military. The main smart weapon found on the Joint Direct Attack Ammunition (JDAM).
When talking about the threat of GPS jamming, Simon said: “All the classic threats are there: Iran, North Korea, China, Russia.” Everyone is desperately looking for major navigation systems or GPS enhancements, or they are looking for non-GPS Products. There is no panacea that can replace GPS."
Fifteen years ago, jammers were considered the most expensive equipment for governments or nation states. But now, low-cost, low-power gsm jammers are everywhere, releasing a wave of cheap and reliable consumer electronics, such as Wi-Fi routers and smart phones. Although military GPS systems are more flexible than commercial GPS systems, they cannot be 100% guaranteed, especially for high-power jammers.
Signs of frequent occurrence of these phenomena: In 2013, a truck driver from New Jersey wanted to hide his position from his boss. He used a GPS jammer. Every time he passed away, he would inadvertently interfere with the air traffic control at Newark Airport. . The authorities found the driver and was fined $32,000 by the Federal Communications Commission.
James Hasik, chief researcher of the Atlantic Council and author of "Precision Revolution: GPS and the Future of Air Combat", said: "Anyone who wants it can get it." Frankly speaking, you and me Phone jammers are being rapidly established in the basement. "
