Navigating Planes in a Hostile Radio World
David Robinson

Recently, we have seen an uptick in GNSS jamming and spoofing, which is impacting aviation operations. GNSS is used for aircraft navigation, RNP approaches, and traffic management with ADS-B.

Old navigation aids like VOR are being decommissioned which can be used to cross-reference GNSS. To save costs running primary radars, they are being decommissioned with ADS-B filling the gap. With the GNSS jamming/spoof do we need some other tools to help mitigate some of these risks? Can some of the radio direction-finding tools be of help here?
