GNSS Spoofing for Drone Intrusion Prevention: A Comprehensive Defense Technology
In December 2018, London’s Gatwick Airport ground to a halt for 36 hours. A single drone sighting—never conclusively identified—disrupted 140,000 passengers and caused over £50 million in economic losses. The military’s response included classified counter-drone systems, widely believed to include GNSS spoofing technology. This incident crystallized a growing reality: our skies are vulnerable, and the
