Pinpointing GNSS Interference from Low Earth Orbit

September 2023: A paper written by the RNL’s Zach Clements titled “Dual-Satellite Geolocation of Terrestrial GNSS Jammers from Low Earth Orbit” got published in Inside GNSS. “In the past decade, there has been a sharp increase in GNSS outages due to deliberate GNSS jamming. Receivers in LEO are uniquely situated to detect, classify and geolocate terrestrial GNSS jammers. This article explores two-step and direct geolocation of terrestrial GNSS jammers from LEO. In our paper titled “Dual-Satellite Geolocation of Terrestrial GNSS Jammers from Low Earth Orbit” we were able to detect and geolocate over 30 GNSS jammers across Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Ukraine, and Israel with pinpoint accuracy.” The publication, selected as the cover story of Inside GNSS+ in September/October 2023, can be found here.
