More GPS jamming jitters

Had a visitor to the site from some desk jockey in the army.

For a search on the Russian military’s cheap GPS jammer, the AviaConversia (150-200km effective radius in the size of a large flashlight). trac.wsmr.army.mil is the domain name of the US Army Training and Doctrine Command Analysis Center, White Sands Missile Range.


    TRAC at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico (TRAC-WSMR) conducts a wide variety of analyses for TRADOC and HQDA, and DoD agencies, including military system Program Managers and the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). TRAC-WSMR is responsible for highly resolved analysis of brigade and battalion operations, life cycle costs of new equipment, and training effectiveness. TRAC-WSMR develops, maintains, verifies and validates, and exports a suite of combat models and simulations to support analyses of battlefield functional areas and weapon systems, and stimulation of field exercises, experiments, and training; and operational testing of new equipment under development.

I guess they’re simulating what would happen if someone cracked military encryption and blocked their GPS guidance systems which would cause confusion and increase friendly fire accidents and expose assets to threat.
