- The FAA cannot see a spectrum attack in real time, and its datalinks cannot authenticate a message A US oversight report published on 21 September found that the FAA investigates jamming and spoofing only after someone reports it, and that the two text… 6 min 13 sources
- Receiver resilience becomes an airworthiness requirement on 29 September The FAA's Interference Tolerance Mask takes effect the same day the FCC licenses the transmitters it was written against. No altimeter in service meets it, and… 6 min 20 sources
- SMS blasters bypass the network, and two September convictions show the cost A false base station never touches an operator's core. Every control built to stop scam messaging sits inside the network it skips. Detection has to move… 6 min 12 sources
- Counter-drone jamming is being institutionalised as its target surface disappears Europe is building a layered counter-UAS architecture weighted toward electronic attack, on a timeline running to 2030. Fibre-optic control, satellite links, autonomy and cellular command are… 5 min 11 sources
- Washington acknowledges on-orbit weapons, and names an electromagnetic engagement Within 48 hours at one conference the Air Force Secretary confirmed the United States operates space-control weapons in orbit, and the Chief of Space Operations described… 5 min 10 sources
- Baltic GNSS interference is now a standing condition, and it can be geolocated Polish authorities record satellite navigation disruption on most days of 2026. A peer-reviewed study has located two emitters inside Kaliningrad to within roughly 50 metres using… 6 min 14 sources
- The fake base station stopped being a state capability Rogue cellular towers are now criminal commodity equipment, driven around cities in car boots. The detection problem that follows is a spectrum and network-monitoring problem, and… 4 min 12 sources
- GNSS interference is now an operating condition Jamming and spoofing around conflict zones stopped being incidents and became background noise. Regulators spent 2026 rewriting the procedures. The collection problem — turning the interference… 5 min 11 sources
