A top military official says there’s a simmering shadow conflict playing out in space, with U.S. satellites coming under regular attack. But what does an attack on a spacecraft look like, who is committing them, and how can operators protect themselves?
FAA air traffic controllers supervising flights over Arizona, New Mexico and Texas were confused and frustrated by an increase in military tests that interfered with GPS signals for civilian aircraft, public records show.

Honeywell unveils three new military-grade navigation technologies
Honeywell has successfully demonstrated multiple new alternative navigation technologies designed for military aircraft. According to Honeywell, the new technologies will ensure seamless navigation when GPS systems are blocked or unavailable.
Vision-Aided Navigation uses a live optical or IR camera feed and compares with maps to provide accurate positioning, with GPS level accuracy, when GPS jamming may be present.
Celestial-Aided Navigation observes stars and reference objects orbiting the earth to determine position and velocity in the same way GPS does.
got it on radar, but day one, day one of all of this, they told us, we have reason to believe it might have turned back. they never explained why, they never gave us a sense who was saying this. now we know. they ve known for days this happened. why they are they just now telling us? no clear sign what happened or whether the plane was in trouble before it vanished. so conspiracy theiriey ises if having a field day. everything from pilot error to equipment malfunction, hijacking, and the ever-present alien involvement. earlier we asked you to send us some tweets. that was after twitter got back up and working. when twitter crashes, the world ends. ryan got some tweets.hat then twitter with this. it s blowing up twitter. so, military says, gps jamming from inside the airplane, hacks into onboard commuter. there are multiple opinions
