The .mil visitors seem to be concerned enough about GPS jamming to go searching for information on it. Although the Russian jammer is no longer sold they are apparently easy to manufacture. The Russian AviaConversia unit runs on batteries and has an operating range of 150-200 km! Although this could jam Russian Glonass and civilian GPS according to things I’ve read it does not affect the encrypted military gps band which can be alternated or moved. However, theoretically one would have to assume it’s at least possible. Imagine if US jets were sent the incorrect GPS coordinates or if their GPS was blocked entirely. The military is becoming more and more dependent on this tech which just opens up further vulnerabilities. The future should be very interesting indeed.

I’m curious why DoD pinheads are using Google’s Canadian site.
