Blockage and Outage of Aircraft Navigation System: An Implication and Solution for Sustainability of Aviation
Keywords:
Global Navigation Satellite System, Aircraft Systems, Jamming, Interface, Trajectory, Radio Frequency InterferenceAbstract
Recently, there have been an increasing number of blockages and outages of Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals for civil aircraft by applying jamming, spoofing, and interference modes that threaten flight safety. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of intentionally interference of satellite signals, and its negative implication on systems and flight path involved aircraft. The methodology considers various applications for countermeasures that affect aircraft navigation systems while GNSS signals are missing. The practical implications demonstrate that, even if all satellite navigation signals and radio navigation systems are turned off, alternative aircraft equipment is able to prevent disasters. Low Range Radio Altimeter interfacing with a Ground Proximity Warning System is the best and most reliable implemented technology to warn and avoid the threat. Modern developments allow the use of countermeasures with Quantum, AI-Powered, and Geomagnetic navigation system technologies to provide stable flight sequences, ensuring the safety of aircraft and passengers.
