Electronic Warfare Puts Commercial GPS Users on Notice

Localized jamming and spoofing of GNSS continues to affect multiple sectors, with interference now seen as a broader risk beyond aviation and maritime transport. In 2025, there have been about 1,000 daily GPS interference incidents globally, up from around 700 daily incidents in 2024, according to SkAI Data Services. The article notes that GNSS interference has prompted condemnation from UN aviation officials over Russia’s demonstrated activity, mirroring incidents ranging from Europe to Asia and the Middle East.

Experts such as Todd Humphreys of the University of Texas describe GPS disruptions as a wake‑up call and emphasise the need to harden aviation, maritime, and communications against jamming and spoofing. The piece also highlights how criminals have begun to exploit GPS disruption within cargo theft and supply chains, with the National Insurance Crime Bureau forecasting a 22% rise in stolen cargo value in 2025 due to these techniques.
