AIN Online has published a roundtable on the growing threat of navigation spoofing and jamming in civil aviation, with experts examining how operators can prepare for interference that can disrupt GPS-dependent flight operations. The discussion centres on resilience measures for aircraft and flight crews as concern rises over the reliability of satellite navigation in busy airspace and on routes where GNSS disruption could affect day-to-day operations.
The roundtable places renewed attention on mitigation strategies, including the need for backup procedures and navigation architectures that can withstand interference more effectively. It also reflects a wider industry shift towards treating spoofing and jamming as operational risks rather than isolated technical anomalies. For airlines, business aviation operators and other civil users of GNSS, the issue has moved closer to the centre of flight safety planning, particularly as navigation dependence continues to grow across fleets and operations.
