He explained that 2 problems with GPS interference in unmanned vehicles are most common.

- We have 2 kinds of GPS problems. It is. jamming and spoofing. Jamming is the sowing of full interference. The drone just doesn't know what's going on, but it reports a problem and reports it. However, spoofing is simply a more elite problem. The point is that individual pretends to be a GPS signal and the drone thinks he is in a given place, although in fact his location is different - he explained.

"This affects security". Head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs on interference

He commented on the "Graffiti" program in Polsat News Head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs Tomasz Siemoniak, who assured that the Polish services were paying large attention to this issue. Especially since Interferences caused, among others, an emergency landing of the plane that was heading for Bydgoszcz.

- I'm sorry. It affects security, it affects the operation of various military installations and military units - he argued.

- I'm sorry. due to the fact that it happens in tiny space - I am talking about the confederate Baltic - it affects others too, so it is absolutely unacceptable. Looking at the Russian-Ukrainian War, or looking at the Israeli-Iran War, it's a GPS signal, tracking, navigation, becoming critical elements of these conflicts and of course we must draw conclusions from this and guarantee the safety of our systems - said Tomasz Siemoniak.
