Jamming and Deception of Navigation Systems

Abstract

The electronic countermeasure is an important part of electronic warfare, which consists of electronic jamming and electronic deception. The jamming signals, made by special equipment threaten the navigation systems, used in aviation. This article presents methods of electronic attack against some navigation systems. There was a mobile jamming station against tactical radio navigation system TACAN in the 80s and there are several jamming methods against modern global satellite navigation systems too.
