GPS Interference Monitoring

Watch 2026-03-29

Summary

GPS interference data is delayed. The latest snapshot is from an earlier date.

Why this matters

GPS disruption affects civilian and military navigation reliability. Extended disruption has historically correlated with broader regional tension.

How sure we are

Last data: 2026-03-25 12:00 UTC

Basis: GPSJam aircraft GPS quality reports (updates ~72h)

Limitation: GPS snapshots update approximately every 72 hours. This is not real-time.

How we know

We use public aircraft navigation reports from GPSJam. When many aircraft in the same area report degraded GPS quality, it usually means jamming or spoofing is active in that zone.
