GPS Spoofing Emerges as a Serious Risk for Civil and Military Applications

The growing reliance on satellite-based navigation systems by modern aviation has raised serious concerns among global aviation authorities about the threat to the integrity of these systems that are emerging. As one such threat, GPS spoofing, is rapidly gaining attention for its potential to undermine the safety and reliability of aircraft operations, it is quickly gaining attention.

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) spoofing, which is the act of transmitting counterfeit signals to confuse receivers of GNSS signals, has become an increasingly serious concern for aviation safety worldwide, including in India. As a result of this interference, the accuracy of aircraft navigation systems is compromised, as it compromises critical data related to location, navigation, and time. As a result, the risk of operational and security failures is significant. 

Several recent media articles have brought a renewed focus on the threat of GPS spoofing, which has become increasingly prevalent in recent years, along with its potential catastrophic impact on a variety of critical systems and infrastructure, most notably the aviation industry. There is a growing concern in this area because the incidence of spoofing incidents is on the rise in areas close to national borders, a region where the threat is particularly high.

An area of concern that has been raised in public discourse as well as parliamentary debat
