Abstract:

GNSS underpins modern PnT, but it's increasingly vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. This creates serious risks for aviation, maritime operations, autonomous systems and national security at large. Our paper systematically reviews real-world attack methods and incidents, synthesizes defensive mechanisms and argues for a stronger cybersecurity-driven approaches. It delivers practical technical and policy recommendations for the contested space environment.
