GPS jamming
Navigation signal interference
GPS jamming is the deliberate transmission of radio signals that interfere with GPS receivers, preventing them from accurately determining location.
Military forces use it to disrupt enemy navigation and guided weapons.
Criminals jam GPS to defeat vehicle tracking systems: The stolen truck had a GPS jammer plugged into the cigarette lighter.
Near airports and military bases, jamming is a serious security concern.
