What's signal spoofing? How it risks flight safety on Indo-Pak border?

India Today  

Planes flying over India’s border regions in Amritsar and Jammu face a growing challenge: electronic signals that mimic satellite navigation beams. SIGNAL SPOOFING Aircraft and air controllers assisting them from the ground rely on satellite signals from the Global Navigation Satellite System for navigation, surveillance, and tracking. The fake signals could disrupt the normal operations of the Flight Management System, Ground Proximity Warning System, the aircraft clock, Weather Radar, Controller–Pilot Data Link Communications, Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast and Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Contract, as per OPSGROUP. A circular issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation said intentional interference due to jamming or spoofing attacks could lead to hazardously misleading information which could adversely affect flight safety. In a January Safety Alert from Operators, the US Federal Aviation Administration said GPS spoofing poses a "potential safety of flight risk to civil aviation".

Instances of GPS interference on passenger aircraft, including ‘spoofing’ with false signals, are on the rise over conflict zones globally, including on India’s borders with Pakistan, which are among the top sites for such occurrences, according to OPSGROUP, a voluntary group of 8,000 aviation personnel, including pilots, who share information on risks to flights. The GPSjam portal also lists India’s …
