Navigating the GPS threat landscape, with Brandon Karpf. [T-Minus: Space-Cyber Briefing]

Brief

Traditionally, GPS jamming attacks have been confined to the ground; however, new data shows that these attacks could be moving to target signals before they even reach the ground.

In this week’s episode, host Maria Varmazis sits down with Dave Bittner and Brandon Karpf to discuss recent research that suggests the attack landscape for GPS attacks is expanding. If this research is accurate, these attacks represent a significant evolution for how defenders think about this critical technology.

Key sources:

  • Something is jamming GPS over Europe. Here's what we found.
  • Chasing Lightning: Detecting, Characterizing, and Identifying a Powerful Space-Based GNSS Interference Source.
  • EKS 5.
