FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Widespread GPS jamming across the Middle East Gulf has been reported since the last weekend of February, coinciding with heightened regional tensions and military activity. These developments have reinforced a critical reality for modern shipping: GNSS is no longer a guaranteed utility in contested environments. Satellite navigation systems – once considered highly reliable – are now increasingly vulnerable to interference. Jamming and spoofing incidents have surged significantly in recent years, transforming GNSS from a cornerstone of maritime safety into a potential point of failure. Even low-cost jamming devices can disrupt sophisticated onboard systems, highlighting the asymmetry of this threat.
