The impact of Russian on GPS signal jamming in the Scandinavian Region

Abstract

Abstract GPS's dependability and precision are crucial because it supports infrastructure assets that are essential to the operation of the power grid, transportation, communication, and national and international financial operations. Worldwide productivity is rising thanks to GPS, which has also had a significant impact on military operations. Despite their significance, GPS signals are vulnerable to interference because of their relative weakness. This weakness gives terrorists and state actors that utilize GPS jamming devices a wide range of options. Although different types of jammers can cause varying degrees of interference, the use of powerful military jammers is becoming more and more common. The Russian military is deploying jammers to obstruct GPS satellite signals, which are essential for navigation, mapping, and other purposes. Considering that there are jammers in the region that prevent them from getting any usable signal, Scandinavian nations may not be able to use GPS on some days. In this study, how the jamming effect on the GPS satellites in the Scandinavian regions affects the position accuracy obtained and the performance of the GLONASS, Galileo, Beidou, and QZSS satellites that are used to eliminate this situation was investigated.
