What the Space Force Is Eyeing for Its Future GPS Enterprise

After years of talking about the issue and a few fits and starts, the Space Force is refining its plans to bolster its legacy GPS architecture amid fears that its satellites and ground systems are increasingly vulnerable to threats like jamming, spoofing, and even kinetic attack.

GPS As a Key Distribution Platform

This is interesting:

The U.S. military has likely been quietly broadcasting codes for its global encryption network using public GPS for nearly 20 years, turning each satellite into a hidden “numbers station,” according to Steven Murdoch…

That means every device that uses GPS has been receiving hidden government information for years, and nobody outside the military knew it until now.

Pigeons break the rules of navigation – and the secret lies is in their livers

Bird navigation has puzzled animal scientists for a long time, despite decades of research, not least because each species seems to have its own flight manual and designing experiments to unlock these secrets is incredibly challenging for us, on the ground.

Beyond satellites: Why FOG inertial navigation is the new imperative for land warfare

[Sponsored] The era of uncontested GPS dominance is over. As counterspace threats and electronic warfare redefine the battlefield, learn how Exail’s Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) technology provides the high-end stability and autonomous “source of truth” required for land maneuver and precision fires in GNSS-denied environments.

GPX-Tracks zum Navigieren verwenden

Als Ergänzung zu meinem Beitrag “GPX-Tracks mitnehmen II” hier eine zusammenfassende Erläuterung für eine einfache Verwendung von Routen/GPX-Tracks am Handy. OsmAnd Aktuell kann ich die App OSMAnd (steht für “OpenStreetMap Automated Navigation Directions”) sehr empfehlen – diese ist verfügbar für Android (hier) und iOS (hier). Es gibt von der App zwar eine kostenpflichtige Version, die……

GPS interference in Estonia makes it difficult to detect wildfires

In the northeastern Estonian county of Ida-Viru, interference in the transmission of global positioning system (GPS) signals has been observed for several years, and this is interfering with the drones, whose main task is to detect forest fires in time, writes ERR News. This week, large-scale forest fires broke out in Ida-Viru county, about 30 […]

Detecting Hidden GPS Trackers via Electromagnetic Unintentional Emissions with a HackRF

Researchers from Hunan University, Boise State, and UT Arlington have published a paper called "GPSBuster" (PDF link), demonstrating how a HackRF One can sniff out covert GPS trackers by their unintended electromagnetic radiation. Hidden trackers are hard to find since they only receive satellite signals and may store coordinates locally rather than transmit. Instead of […]
