In this episode, we dive into the escalating electronic-warfare environment in critical maritime chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. With maritime intelligence reporting over 1,700 GNSS interference events in early 2026 alone, relying solely on satellite navigation is no longer a safe operational baseline.We break down the critical differences between GNSS jamming (a denial-of-service attack resulting in a loss of position) and GPS spoofing (the broadcasting of hazardously misleading information that tricks your receiver). When satellite integrity is compromised, it is rarely just a…
