Lewis said Russia has deployed "powerful" jammers in Syria since 2015, disrupting much of the electromagnetic spectrum. These phone jammer are powerful enough to disrupt aircraft landing in Tel Aviv, Israel.
“The problem with these large, powerful jammers is that they are vulnerable,†Lewis told Mission & Purpose. "It sends a strong signal, 'I'm here.' Target me." That's attractive when you don't have to worry about someone fighting back. I think that's one of the reasons it's used in Syria. "
Russia also has more advanced jammers that can jam certain frequencies, Lewis said, and they have invested time and effort in developing the ability to spoof GPS signals and throw navigation systems off course. To this end, the Chinese military, whose electronic warfare capabilities lag behind Russia's, is purchasing Russian-made jammer device.
The United States also helped Ukraine find and destroy Russian jammers, a "high priority" mission, according to a secret Pentagon document that was part of a secret document allegedly leaked by pilot Jack Teixeira .
"We will continue to advocate/recommend disrupting/destroying these jammers wherever possible," the document said.
Criminal gang uses GPS jammer to steal cars
Criminal gangs are importing GPS jammers from China to steal expensive cars or car transporters carrying valuable cargo. However, they believe that a terrible accident will soon happen to the gang.
Tracking devices have become an important part of vehicle safety, often using GPS. However, GPS systems are susceptible to a technique called "jamming," which blocks the signal between GPS satellites and their receivers.
Introducing a more advanced tracking device that combines GSM, GPS and VHF technology in one device. The result is a solution that is more resilient to criminals using jamming devices. All 52 police forces in the UK use a stolen vehicle tracking and recovery system, which tells police the original location of a stolen vehicle.
Many people don’t realize how dependent our lives are on GPS. It’s not just car owners who face growing risks of disruption. “With criminals increasingly importing jammers from China or manufacturing their own in the UK, air traffic control or other critical networks could be vulnerable to terrorist attacks if countermeasures are not taken.â€
People are overly reliant on GPS as a safety and recovery system, especially when used alone. As more and more U.S. motorists become vulnerable to jamming devices, we believe no one technology is strong enough.
