False electronic signals imitating satellite data from Global Position System satellites recently caused complete navigation failures for 12 aircraft flights near Iran, according to a private aircraft security group.
“A troubling new development in enroute airspace is emerging: Aircraft are being targeted with fake GPS signals, quickly leading to complete loss of navigational capability,” the organization OpsGroup stated in a warning notice.
The false GPS signals apparently showed the aircraft to be off course from actual positions by between 69 to 92 miles, the report said. In addition to areas near Erbil, Iraq, the signal spoofing was detected by aircraft near northern Iran, eastern Turkey and near Baku, Azerbaijan. “However, if it receives a spoof position, the system still believes the GPS input received to be accurate as all sources ‘say’ the same thing, and this spoof position is then updated to the IRS to match,” the report said.Spoofing “has the potential to be very dangerous and is part of the reason why pilots should back up navigation still with ‘green needles’ / ground-based aids wherever possible,” the report said.
