In excess of 1,000 commercial flights per day are affected by GPS location spoofing. Writing this in an airport waiting for my flight to Barcelona, perhaps I should be a little more unnerved by that stat than I am!

I recently visited @CranfieldUni, one of the UK’s leading aviation research centres, to discover more about the growing issue of GPS spoofing, its impact on civil aviation, and the measures being deployed to tackle it. Speaking with Peter Terry-Brown from @Spirent, I learnt that:

✈️ 41,000 GPS spoofing events were recorded between the middle of August and middle of September last year.

📍 It’s not only aviation that’s affected by location spoofing, and it doesn’t only take place in active war zones.

🛡️ Like cyber security, there are a variety of testing, hardening and awareness measures needed to mitigate the threat.

Lots more detail in the video - and if you want to find out more about protecting commercial aviation against location spoofing threats, take a look at the ebook linked below.

I bet you will use navigation in some way today....

We take it for granted, but what if your mapping signals were compromised when you most needed the tech to work? Like on a plane!

Luckily @Spirent @CranfieldUni work together to combat this spoofing threat by combining PNT expertise…

✈️DYK that over 41,000 flights were impacted by GPS spoofing in just one month?😮

I visited @CranfieldUni with @Spirent to explore how tech and research are teaming up to protect aviation.
