The European Commission has reported detecting over 140,000 unique electronic signatures of GPS/GNSS jammers during the limited sampling it has done on the continent.

While there are undoubtedly an equal or larger number of jammers operating in the United States, until recently the US government has shown little apparent interest.

“Inside GNSS” recently reported that the Department of Homeland Security tested equipment to detect, identify, and photograph vehicles that are apparently using GPS/GNSS jamming equipment.

The technology called “Jammercam” was previewed at the National PNT Advisory Board meeting in late June of this year before being deployed for the July DHS demonstrations and trials in Idaho.

Detecting and eliminating jamming is an important part of the “Protection” part of our “Protect, Toughen, Augment” scheme to ensure the nation’s critical PNT services remain uninterrupted.

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don't see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it's exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn't a feature — it's the foundation everything else depends on.
