'Without GPS, America would be a very different place,' Space Force Lieutenant Colonel Robert Wray told Newsweek.
"The Navy, for example, trains its navigators now to be able to use celestial navigation and some of the techniques that it abandoned when we were in a more peaceful environment and GPS was assumed to be reliable in all locations at all times," Wray said.
"The same is that much more true for military assets," Wray said."So, whether it's an aircraft or seacraft, they could have jammers in all different places. The proliferation of remotely piloted aircraft, the proliferation of small unmanned watercraft, wherever it might be, it's very easy to put a jamming device on that, and so one could manifest itself in any different way at any different time.
The spokesperson also noted that"multiple resources use freely available data to generate maps and reports of likely interference for public reference." "We do actively monitor GPS/GNSS interference within our area and we have seen interference, particularly in the Eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea and the Baltic States," the EUROCONTROL press office toldAll three regions constitute areas where both NATO and Russia's armed forces regularly operate, though EUROCONTROL said it was difficult to pinpoint the precise cause of the interference.
