Our enemies found a weakness in essential technology. We must fix it … fast
Iran's Strait of Hormuz jamming exposed GPS vulnerability as over 1,100 vessels recorded interference in a single day, threatening critical infrastructure.
Source excerpt
In July, Iran attempted to make good on its threat to close the Strait of Hormuz.
Yet the strait had already ceased functioning as reliable commercial infrastructure long before.
Since the conflict started, more than 1,100 vessels recorded GPS and AIS interference in a single day, ships appeared on tracking systems at airports or deep inside Iranian territory, and ship crews navigated one of the world’s busiest waterways by radar alone because satellite navigation could no longer be trusted.
It demonstrated what a determined adversary can do to the satellite infrastructure the modern world has taken for granted.
