New Protections Deployed Against Attacks On Navigation Systems
Russia and Iran are the main perpetrators of GPS jamming and spoofing attacks
Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) ADA Anti-Jam GPS System
Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) ADA Anti-Jam GPS System has been integrated into advanced platforms used by the Israeli Air Force (IAF), including into F-16 fighter jets and various types of drones.

A wave of GPS jamming and spoofing has sent commercial airliners and business aircraft off-course while flying over the Middle East and northern Europe, raising concerns about the safety of air travel worldwide. Intelligence analysts widely believe the interference originates from hostile states including Iran and Russia and their surrogates.

In airspace where jamming occurs, aircraft operators experience a degradation of their Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) as receivers cannot latch onto satellite signals. Spoofing involves sending out bogus satellite signals to deceive GNSS receivers into computing erroneous position, navigation, and timing information.
