Re: Wow

Anyone with a basic knowledge of electronics can build a jammer its not sophisticated stuff,

anyone ever had interference on a radio ?

banning frequency jammers wont help... 2 things will

1/ Have more sources of truth on different frequency (eLoran, Galileo)

2/ Inertial Navigation System (INS) - it uses motion sensors (accelerometers), rotation sensors (gyroscopes) and magnetic sensors (magnetometers), to continuously calculate by dead reckoning the position, the orientation and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references.

Mandate that navigation systems must have INS so that when external systems fail the whole thing does not go dark and the ambulance/ship/critical system is not Fecking USELESS GPS i.e. the system should be useable without a internet connection and weak signals beamed from space...
