Global Navigation Satellite Systems Engineering, Policy, and Design
It is well-understood now that Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are vulnerable to radio frequency interference (RFI) due to the very low power of their received signals. RFI can take the form of jamming, in which the GNSS frequencies are overwhelmed with unwanted power or spoofing, in which “fake” GNSS signals are transmitted.

A: Radio frequency interference (RFI) events have grown in frequency and scope to become a paramount concern for commercial, military and (especially) safety-of-life critical applications of GNSS since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023.

Europe’s Galileo navigation system has taken a significant leap forward with the completion of a major upgrade to its Galileo Ground Segment. As one of the most complex ground segments ever developed in Europe, the challenge lay in seamlessly upgrading a system that serves more than four billion users globally—without disrupting service.
