GPS jammer
Navigation signal disruptor
A GPS jammer is a device that broadcasts radio signals to disrupt GPS reception, preventing nearby receivers from determining their location.
Used illegally by truck drivers to defeat fleet tracking, by criminals to thwart vehicle recovery systems, and by militaries to deny navigation capability to adversaries.
Possession and use is illegal in many countries because jamming affects all GPS users in range—potentially disrupting aircraft navigation and emergency services.
