AJ + S Advanced Jamming + Spoofing System Navigation is everywhere! pace, or more precisely space technologies, have become a strategic field of operations, in times of peace and crisis, besides land, air, sea, and cyber. The development of new as well as the modernization of existing Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), which started in recent years, illustrates this fact.
interference (jamming + spoofing). While jamming deliberately blocks the signal reception of GNSS receivers, spoofing aims to manipulate the position and time information of the attacked receiver. This is of course enormously dangerous because the user thinks to be somewhere else than he actually is.

Space technologies, -data, and -services have become an essential part of the daily lives of European citizens, but safetycritical applications in the area of national defense and internal security also depend on these technologies. However, the greater the dependence on Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), the greater the risk of unintentional and intentional disruptions and
Navigation Warfare The goal of Navigation Warfare is the geographically limited disruption of (satellite-based) PNT information of an enemy while ensuring the resilience of the own systems. However, since the use of GNSS and PNT will continue to increase in the future, it can be assumed that jamming and spoofing will also continue to increase. Navigation Warfare would therefore also affect the use of navigation systems in the public domain and for each individual. Governmental authorities, armed forces, system integrators, and GNSS equipment manufacturers should be aware of the danger caused by GNSS signal jamming and spoofing. They should get the possibility to test their equipment in a protected and realistic environment to assess vulnerabilities and improve equipment in order to better tackle GNSS interference.
