UN warns of growing threats to satellite navigation systems, vital for aviation and maritime safety.

The United Nations and its agencies have expressed serious concern over the rise in jamming and spoofing of satellite navigation systems, which are vital for aviation and maritime safety. They have called on countries to protect these systems, known as GNSS, from harmful interference, enhance their resilience, and implement comprehensive reporting mechanisms for any disruptions. The agencies also urged maintaining conventional navigation infrastructure as a backup.
