[New] GPS jamming, communications disruption, and radar spoofing are central to Iranian operational doctrine.
Defence Trading
[New] By technology type, the mechanical / scanning LiDAR segment is expected to expand at a significant rate between 2026 and 2035.
Precedence Research
[New] As companies like SpaceX continue to launch thousands of satellites, the integration of advanced navigation systems, such as precision accelerometers and quartz MEMS gyroscopes, will become increasingly vital for enhancing navigation accuracy and operational efficiency.
Aerospace & Defense News
[New] The Space Force's recent launch of the GPS 3-9 satellite, featuring M-Code technology designed for jam-resistant positioning, navigation, and timing, underscores its focus on maintaining technological superiority in the face of emerging threats from adversaries like China.
Aerospace & Defense News
[New] GIS can be used to show, for example, that by 2050 the area served by drones with a given reliability level may shrink if some zones become off-limits more frequently.
SpringerLink
[New] Modern chips used for satellite navigation are capable of receiving signals from all the big four global satellite navigation systems - so Iran could be using BeiDou, or even GLONASS or Galileo.
CNBC
[New] State-sponsored electronic interference originating from conflict zones has become a daily occurrence across Northern and Eastern Europe, causing widespread navigation disruptions for commercial aircraft and maritime vessels.
Market Data Forecast
[New] GUARDIAN (GPS/GNSS Unified Algorithm for Real-time Disaster Identification and Notification) is a near-real-time (NRT) ionospheric monitoring software system designed to support natural hazards early warning systems (EWS).
NASA Scientific Visualization Studio
[New] ESA's Celeste mission will demonstrate how a low Earth orbit fleet of satellites can work in combination with the Galileo constellation in medium Earth orbit that provide Europe's own global navigation system.
GlobeNewswire
[New] China operates hundreds of ISR, communications, and navigation satellites and is developing low-Earth orbit constellations that could improve battlefield awareness and support military operations.
Nato-Veterans
[New] The European Union did a survey several years ago and found over 450,000 signals that had the potential to interfere with GPS and the other global navigation satellite systems.
American Enterprise Institute - AEI
[New] The CSA will support the development of an open-source Earth observation data platform prototype, Digital Earth Canada (DEC), a powerful networked system serving as a common access point for Canadian and foreign sources of open and free geospatial data.
Canadian Space Agency
[New] In 2026-27, at least 45 Canadian organizations will participate in ESA missions and activities in Earth observation, satellite communications, space exploration, navigation, space safety, and technology development.
Canadian Space Agency
[New] For small island states such as Jamaica, geospatial intelligence and historical hazard analytics are essential tools for anticipating cascading hazards such as flooding and landslides during extreme tropical weather events.
Mona GeoInformatics Institute -
[New] Predictive Analysis: Russia will likely increase deployment of electronic warfare systems targeting drone navigation in sectors where Ukrainian remote mining has been most effective, as the February casualty figures provide sufficient operational incentive to prioritize countermeasures.
Drone Warfare
[New] Russian electronic warfare systems are systematically disrupting satellite navigation in the Baltic Sea, creating risks for shipping and aviation.
RBC-Ukraine
[New] Iran could reasonably accelerate modifications to Shahed flight profiles, navigation systems, or swarm coordination to degrade the effectiveness of Ukrainian interception methods before they become entrenched in Gulf air defence doctrine.
Drone Warfare
Building on the strong foundation of New Radio NTN, 6G will introduce advanced capabilities such as Global Navigation Satellite System-independent operation for increased resilience and multi-radio access technology spectrum sharing for smooth migration.
