ORNL develops advanced GPS interference alarm using AI-powered radio analysis

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a portable device capable of detecting GPS interference, including spoofing and jamming. The system can differentiate between real and fake GPS signals even when they are of equal strength, a capability not found in existing interference detectors. This technology, which utilizes a software-defined radio and an embedded GPU with a novel RF analysis method, operates independently of GPS signals and has shown superior performance in tests with the US Department of Homeland Security.

    Researchers move in the right direction, develop powerful GPS interference alarm

    <h4>ORNL says portable detector kit can separate real GPS signals from fake ones even at equal strength</h4> <p>GPS spoofing, which sends fake satellite-like signals, and GPS jamming, which drowns receivers in noise, are increasingly serious problems. Researchers at Oak Ridge Nat…
