The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on November 24 issued an advisory to Indian airlines detailing mitigating measures to be taken in the event of spoofing of (fake) navigational signals, following incidents near the Iranian airspace and a U.S. advisory.
GPS spoofing is “the surreptitious replacement of a true satellite signal that can cause a GPS receiver to output an erroneous position and time”, according to the U.S. Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics.
Following reports of the Geo Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) jamming over West Asia and an advisory from the U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its airlines on September 27, the DGCA formed an internal committee on October 4 and held discussions with leading experts from around the world.
