What’s new: The most recent edition of the Secure World Foundation’s “Global Counterspace Capabilities” report discusses GNSS interference at greater length. It is described as a constant – now just part of the environment.
Why it’s important: This is another confirmation that interference has been normalized. It is something all users, providers, and equipment makers must take into considerations in everything they do.
What else to know: The SWF report used to focus mainly on direct attacks on satellites, kinetic and otherwise. It turns out that attacking signals is easier and can be just as effective. And it doesn’t start a shooting war. At least not right away.
