Overview
GPS spoofing is a form of cyber attack where fake satellite signals are transmitted to deceive GPS receivers, potentially disrupting navigation systems used by pilots, sailors, and drivers. This phenomenon has been on the rise since the early 2010s, with reported incidents of spoofing affecting various modes of transportation, including aircraft, ships, and vehicles. The impact of GPS spoofing can be severe, causing navigation errors, safety risks, and even financial losses. As the world becomes increasingly reliant on GPS technology, the need to understand and mitigate the effects of spoofing has become a pressing concern. The US Department of Homeland Security has reported a significant increase in GPS spoofing incidents.
