Aircraft navigation combines GPS with inertial systems, ground-based aids, and other sensors to ensure accuracy and safety. Jamming blocks satellite signals, while spoofing feeds false data, both ...

A camera looking down at the landscape can provide an aircraft with a position estimate without continuously receiving ...

Global positioning system (GPS) technology has become an essential part of our everyday lives. From food deliveries and ride-hailing to critical defense systems, GPS has revolutionized how we navigate ...

A recent Aviation Week podcast underscored the world’s biggest aviation safety concern—GPS interference. This is a full-fledged threat to global aviation, increasing workload and reducing safety ...

As the efficient use of airspace, runways and fuel requires aircraft to follow increasingly precise trajectories, satellite navigation equipment is becoming a must-have in civil aviation. That was the ...

Even though most of today's aircraft rely heavily on GPS for navigation, the technology is far from infallible. That's why an alternative system is in the works, which may soon allow planes to ...

In brief: Hacking commercial aircraft to cause complete navigation failures sounds like something you'd only see in movies, but an unknown group has been carrying out spoofing attacks on flights over ...
