सारांश
The aviation sector is facing an increasing threat from GPS jamming and spoofing incidents, which can disrupt navigation systems and compromise flight safety. GPS jamming involves blocking GPS signals, while spoofing involves transmitting false GPS signals to mislead receivers.
Airlines and regulatory bodies are implementing measures such as enhanced surveillance, alternative navigation systems, and improved pilot training to mitigate these risks. These efforts aim to ensure the integrity of navigation data and maintain safe flight operations.

बहुविकल्पीय प्रश्न (MCQ)
1. Consider the following statements regarding GPS jamming and spoofing: 1. GPS jamming involves transmitting false GPS signals to mislead receivers. 2. GPS spoofing involves blocking GPS signals, causing a loss of positioning data. 3. Both jamming and spoofing can compromise the integrity of navigation systems in aviation. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
- A.1 and 2 only
- B.3 only
- C.1 and 3 only
- D.2 and 3 only
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: B
Statement 1 and 2 are incorrect. Jamming blocks signals, while spoofing transmits false signals. Statement 3 is correct as both compromise navigation systems.
2. In the context of aviation safety and navigation, which of the following technologies is being explored as an alternative to GPS to mitigate jamming and spoofing risks?
- A.Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System (EGPWS)
- B.Inertial Navigation System (INS)
- C.Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B)
- D.Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: B
Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are self-contained and do not rely on external signals like GPS, making them resistant to jamming and spoofing.
3. Which of the following statements is NOT correct regarding the impact of GPS jamming and spoofing on the aviation sector?
- A.It can lead to deviations from planned flight paths.
- B.It can disrupt air traffic control operations.
- C.It can compromise the accuracy of weather forecasting.
- D.It can affect the precision of landing procedures.
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: C
GPS jamming and spoofing primarily affect navigation and positioning, not weather forecasting. The other options are direct consequences of compromised GPS signals.
4. Assertion (A): Increased incidents of GPS jamming and spoofing pose a significant threat to aviation safety. Reason (R): GPS is the sole navigation system used by modern aircraft, and there are no alternative systems in place. In the context of the above statements, which one of the following is correct?
- A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
- B.Both A and R are true, but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- C.A is true, but R is false.
- D.A is false, but R is true.
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: C
Assertion A is true. Reason R is false because aircraft use alternative navigation systems like INS and ground-based systems.
