European Workshop Tackles GNSS Jamming and Spoofing
The workshop identified key topics that need to be addressed to mitigate attacks
EASA bulletin GNSS spoofing and jamming

EASA and the International Air Transport Association held a workshop last week to share incident information and remedies for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) jamming and spoofing incidents. The workshop concluded that “interference with satellite-based services that provide information on the precise position of an aircraft can pose significant challenges to aviation safety.”

Workshop participants agreed on some measures to make positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) services provided by GNSS more resilient, including reporting events, eventually to a common database; sharing aircraft manufacturers’ guidance to operators; sharing EASA alerts about attacks with relevant stakeholders; and ensuring a backup system with the minimum operational network of traditional ground-based navigation aids.
