A new technical study has recorded a marked escalation in GNSS interference in the southern Baltic Sea, with shipborne measurements indicating a shift from simple jamming to coordinated spoofing–jamming activity near the maritime boundary of Kaliningrad.

The results suggest a material change in the electronic warfare environment. According to the report, the strongest events now blend forged GPS signals with simultaneous jamming of GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. The authors argue this imposes reliance on spoofed GPS inputs while denying access to independent satellite ranges. They recorded 83.5 percent GNSS availability in the worst period and more than four days of spoofing across June and July, including nearly 30 continuous hours inside a 48-hour window.

    GPS is the basis for a terrifying amount of fiddly systems, Russia will progressively fight hybrid wars like this more as their military power crumbles by denying GPS systems from working, thus Europe needs to think long and hard about how to build more resilient navigation systems than traditional GPS systems.
