Live GPS Spoofing Tracker

Spoofing refers to the intentional provision of GPS receivers with false position data. In collaboration with SkAI Data Services, researchers at the Centre for Aviation have developed a GPS spoofing tracker that allows spoofed aircraft to be identified and displayed on an interactive world map in real time.

Spoofing refers to the intentional interference of GPS receivers with false position data. This involves generating formally correct GPS signals with false position information and making them available to GPS receivers in a geographically limited area. Spoofing is increasingly used in conflict and crisis regions, which can have a negative impact on the safe operation of commercial aircraft in these regions.

In collaboration with SkAI Data Services, researchers at the Centre for Aviation have developed a GPS spoofing tracker that uses ADS-B data obtained via the OpenSky Network to identify potentially spoofed aircraft. This spoofing tracker displays the position of potentially spoofed aircraft on an interactive world map in real time and enables users to obtain an up-to-date picture of the situation.
