- Researchers attribute this phenomenon to Israel, aimed at deterring rockets and missiles but posing risks to aviation safety and navigation systems.
- GPS spoofing overwhelms real signals with false ones, disrupting automated safety systems and forcing pilots and ship captains to abandon GPS-based navigation.
- The loss of reliable GPS signals has prompted pilots to revert to old navigation practices, disrupting the ground proximity warning system and forcing reliance on traffic control ....
