For Norway, frequent GNSS jamming and spoofing is affecting a wide range of civilian operations, including air traffic. Interference is increasingly being detected deeper inside Norwegian airspace, reports the Barents Observer.

Three dedicated monitoring stations for detecting GNSS disturbances have already been established in the region bordering Russia. Now, the Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom) plans to install two additional stations this year.

The new sensors will provide improved continuous monitoring, covering key new areas, including large parts of the Varanger Peninsula and the Barents Sea.
