For GPS, jamming does happen: https://gpsjam.org/

This probably refers to GPS jamming.

Sounds more like a job for just plain old RF jamming.

deogeo Nov 15, 2019 View on HN

Makes sense in a military context especially - GPS can be jammed.

>>so frequency jamming is outI don't know about that, they would still have to communicate with eachother/use radar to be aware of their surroundings/use gps to know where they are. Plenty of avenues for jamming/spoofing.

no, but they're a different frequency so if someone was only jamming GPS, this would get through.

GPS signals are weak. You simply jam them.

What about spoofing or jamming the signal?

hliyan Feb 14, 2018 View on HN

I hope they've thought about targets using wireless jammers, or worse yet, someone hacking the signal...

I suspect jamming and spoofing isn't that trivial and requires lots of gear that needs to be on while giving out its location...
