Speaking of GPS, Who’s Jamming Syrian Air Space?

North Korea may not be only country currently engaged in GPS jamming, a commercial airline pilot reported on the Professional Pilot Rumor Network website yesterday.

In an anonymous post, this pilot said: “We have the problem on a regular basis operating around Syria (officially no jamming takes place but still the faithful GNSS [Global Navigation Satellite System, i.e. GPS] goes kaput more often than not around there).”

This pilot did not identify the source of the jamming. I asked the Defense Department about it but I haven’t heard back yet. I doubt I will.
