The Global Positioning System (GPS) has revolutionized military operations by providing global access to high-quality position, navigation, and time (PNT) data. Along with the rise in GPS usage has been a parallel increase in threats to GPS data availability. GPS signals are easily jammed due to their low signal power and fixed frequency of operation. Spoofing attacks threaten military systems bei ...
