GPS Spoofing Detection

GPS spoofing is a technique where false GPS signals are transmitted to deceive GPS receivers, making them display incorrect location information. For example, an aircraft at position A might appear to be at position B. GPSwise tracks these incidents in real time, highlighting areas affected by GPS jamming and spoofing.

How GPSwise Detects Spoofing

Our algorithms detect sudden, unrealistic position jumps in ADS-B data that indicate false GPS coordinates being injected into an aircraft's navigation system. By analyzing broadcasts from the OpenSky Network, we identify spoofing events as they occur.

Why Spoofing Detection Matters

GPS spoofing and jamming pose significant threats to navigation, timing systems, and critical infrastructure. Detecting these incidents helps protect transportation, logistics, and security operations that rely on accurate GPS data.
