Jamming
Jamming is a military tactic used to intentionally block or disrupt an enemy's electronic communications, radar, or navigation systems by sending out powerful interfering signals.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Jamming is an Electronic Warfare (EW) technique involving the deliberate emission of electromagnetic energy to degrade or deny the effective operation of targeted adversary systems, such as radar, radio communication, or Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), by overwhelming their receivers with interfering signals, thereby impacting situational awareness, command and control, or precision-guided munitions.
BACKGROUND
GNSS jamming, including GPS jamming, is an act of overwhelming global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers with powerful radio signals that drown out the signals from the GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, or Galileo satellite constellations. It renders the receiver unable to calculate its position or time accurately. Such jamming can disrupt various GPS-dependent devices, from vehicle and aircraft navigation systems to precision agriculture and mobile phone networks. In civil aviation, GPS jamming can disrupt ADS-B transmission. GPS jamming is a particular type of GNSS interference.
