Understanding GPS Jamming — The Silent Threat to Modern Vehicles

When a vehicle vanishes without trace, often it’s not a break-in—it’s a signal switch-off. GPS jamming and spoofing are rising fast.

What Is GPS Jamming?

A jammer broadcasts excessive radio frequency power over on the same frequency as GPS receivers. Your navigation, tracking or fleet telematics go blind. Whilst the use of these is illegal, gaining access to them or making your own is trivial with online guides and the use of unrestricted AI models. Used by thieves, traffickers and sophisticated attackers alike.

Real-World Impact

In the UK we’ve seen commercial vehicles disable tracking, divert routes, hide identity—and disappear. Even personal vehicles can be compromised via signal blockers.

How to Detect and Defend

  • Use spectrum analysers to find jamming/malicious signals

  • Have fail-safe tracking fall-back systems

  • Train teams to recognise anomalies—vehicle outside geofence but GPS shows long-haul route

  • Regular hardware audits just like software audits

Why This Matters for Prevention

When your vehicle is blind, your logistics, your people and your business are at risk. Just like a bugged device in a meeting, a jammed GPS is an unseen, silent threat.

Key Takeaway

GPS jamming is silent, invisible—and dangerous. The time to audit your signals is before they go dark.
