DGCA takes proactive measures against GNSS interference; issues circular on mitigation strategies and monitoring for aviation safety
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India has issued a circular addressing the threats of jamming and spoofing of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). This move comes in response to reports of such interference in the Middle East.
The circular by the Aviation watchdog outlines comprehensive mitigation measures and action plans for aircraft operators, pilots, Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP), and air traffic controllers. It emphasises the development of contingency procedures, coordination with equipment manufacturers, and assessing operational risk through safety risk assessments.
