The military's GPS jamming exercise likely caused the medical plane to crash in New Mexico in May this year. An initial report by the NTSB had flagged a GPS disruption on the plane. A report claims that this was linked to the jamming exercise at a missile range 65 kilometres away.

Did military GPS jamming cause a plane to crash in New Mexico? Here's what a report says

A new study by researchers from the University of Texas and Stanford University has raised concerns that a constellation of Russian satellites may be capable of disrupting GPS signals across vast geographic regions. Scientists say repeated signal drops recorded across Europe, Greenland, and Canada point to the possibility of a space-based jamming system operating from Russia's Molniya orbit satellites. If confirmed, the capability could represent a major escalation in electronic warfare and pose challenges for aviation, navigation, communications, and military operations.

The United States government has approved a $92.8 million sale of missile and artillery systems to India, aiming to bolster India’s defense capabilities amid regional security challenges. The U.S. arms sale to India, valued at $92.8 million, includes advanced weaponry such as Javelin anti-tank missiles and Excalibur precision-guided artillery rounds.

#Gravitas The U.S. Army is reportedly developing cutting-edge AI-powered, fire-and-forget missiles that do not rely on GPS to hit their targets. These lightweight weapons are small enough to be mounted on medium-sized drones and are designed to navigate and strike even in GPS-denied environments — such as battlefields with heavy electronic warfare. What does this mean for future combat?

Earth’s magnetic field protects life, powers navigation, and shields us from solar radiation. If it weakens or vanishes, we could face GPS failures, crop loss, disrupted migration, and increased cancer risk. Here’s how this hidden force affects daily life and what could go wrong.

How our modern life depends on Earth’s magnetic field: What would happen if it disappeared?

The Sun has unleashed the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle, sending intense bursts of radiation toward Earth. Solar flares, which are sudden explosions of energy on the Sun’s surface, can disrupt satellite communications, GPS signals, and even power grids on Earth. Scientists are closely monitoring the situation to assess potential impacts, though no immediate threat has been reported. This flare marks a significant event in the ongoing solar activity cycle.

There has been a disturbing 400 per cent rise in 'GPS spoofing', and even more concerning is that hackers can use this malicious activity to change the clocks on airlines, which means they can 'hack time'.

GPS spoofing that disrupts aircraft rose by 400 per cent. Will it cause a serious accident?

Skies over the baltic region are becoming dangerous for airplanes. Flights have been reporting an increasing number of missing of fake GPS signals - and the culpit is Russia, according to Baltic leaders.
