To bad the Military uses encrypted GPS that can only be spoofed if you know the rotating key.

It’s always Russia, Russia, Russia. Putin isn’t so dumb as to run this off his own coast.

I dont believe that a bit. We have multiple redundancy on those billion dollar ships. This is dereliction of duty at the highest level and it needs to be punished severely.

Well, let’s hope the military’s classified versions of GPS receivers are a little more immune.

As old pilots will tell you, never rely 100% on electronics, always use other means of navigation such as visualizing the stars and dead reckoning gyroscopic computations.

Meanwhile, Pokemon Go players are demanding access to the new weapon.

BS: Univ of TX grads spoofed a yacht off course in the wild 5 years ago.

Maybe that’s what happened to our ships in the pacific

The diversity crew might be better off with one of these:

There are more than a few instances within CONUS where sat based GPS reported the wrong coordinates. Jamming/spoofing civilian GPS receivers is not that hard.

Too bad they can not use the military Selective Availability Anti-Spoof Module (SAASM).

Spoofing GPS is a fairly easy thing to do.

It could have simply been a technical error with a local Differential GPS transmitter erroneously transmitting a grossly inaccurate correction signal.

How hard is it to have lookouts posted at duty stations with night vision and thermal whenever transiting congested waters?

[Portcall24]

Years ago when I was a tactical radar controller this was called meaconing. Successful meaconing can cause aircraft to be lured into “hot” (ambush-ready) landing zones or enemy airspace, ships to be diverted from their intended routes, bombers to expend ordnance on false targets, or ground stations to receive inaccurate bearings or position locations.

Logic tells me that it is virtually impossible for a large U.S. warship crash in to anything for any reason. Now it has occurred twice in a few months.
I know explanations will come. It is still unexplainable if you ask me.
