Aireon, which provides space-based ADS-B tracking information and other safety services to air navigation service providers (ANSPs), has deployed a GPS interference metric on its safety dashboard. This metric is designed to highlight areas where GPS interference is taking place.

Aireon ADS-B receivers are installed on Iridium Next satellites and enable tracking of ADS-B Out-equipped aircraft anywhere in the world, as long as the aircraft carry an antenna configuration that can interact with the satellites.
