Spirent is now Keysight

In excess of 1,000 commercial flights per day are affected by GPS location spoofing. Writing this in an airport waiting for my flight to Barcelona, perhaps I should be a little more unnerved by that stat than I am! I recently visited @CranfieldUni, one of the UK’s leading aviation research centres, to discover more about the growing issue of GPS spoofing, its impact on civil aviation, and the measures being deployed to tackle it. Speaking with Peter Terry-Brown from @Spirent, I learnt that: ✈️ 41,000 GPS spoofing events were recorded between the middle of August and middle of September last year. 📍 It’s not only aviation that’s affected by location spoofing, and it doesn’t only take place in active war zones. 🛡️ Like cyber security, there are a variety of testing, hardening and awareness measures needed to mitigate the threat. Lots more detail in the video - and if you want to find out more about protecting commercial aviation against location spoofing threats, take a look at the ebook linked below. #GNSS #Spoofing #PNT #SpirentAmbassador #ad #5G #GPS #aviation #aerospace
