CASE STUDY 13

2.GPS JAMMING (GEOPOSITIONING ARE BLOCKED)

By reading the cases, GPS jamming in airline navigation systems may occur in the Middle East

and around Ukraine also in Russia due to a variety of reasons:

In regions like the Middle East and Ukraine, ongoing conflicts or tensions often lead to GPS

jamming tactics. Parties involved may disrupt enemy operations, including aviation, by
jamming GPS signals. This hampers navigation for aircraft, drones, and other platforms,

affecting effectiveness or causing confusion.

Complex geopolitical dynamics and rivalries in these regions escalate tensions, leading to
interference tactics like GPS jamming. Disputes over territory or political influence prompt

acts of interference to exert influence or showcase capabilities.

Governments or security agencies in these areas may use GPS jamming as part of broader

security measures. This includes protecting sensitive areas or events by creating exclusion
zones or deterring unauthorized airspace access, particularly during high-security alerts.

Overall, GPS jamming in regions like the Middle East and Ukraine and Russia disrupts supply
chains by interfering with transportation navigation systems, leading to shipment delays,

increased costs, and logistical challenges. This disruption affects inventory management,
increasing the risk of inaccuracies and delays in meeting customer demand.
