Wouldn't it be possible to mitigate some of the effect of these spoofers using on-board navigation system with an IMU? Or it least allow for it's detection?

You can (should) throw more sensors with different characteristics at a Kalman filter for enhanced results in the presence of noise. The wiki page is actually excellent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalman_filter In the example presented some of the inputs could include direction finding to local broadcasters, a GLONASS receiver, a heading indicator and distance traveled odometer if we're talking a road vehicle, and…

In another thread discussing BLE, you mentioned your profile contained your email addr. I checked your profile and couldn't find it -- maybe it's not made public? Would love to follow up. My email is in my profile.

I did not dig up for a detailed technical write up, but have a plenty media sites mentions (sorry for original Russian content): Just news, mentioning this, back to 2016 https://lenta.ru/articles/2016/11/07/gpsoff/ Nice write up, also from 2016 https://meduza.io/feature/2016/10/19/teleportatsiya-iz-kreml... News from Jan, 2018 https://snob.ru/news/156463 Nov, 2018 https://www.vedomosti.ru/politics/news/2018/11/12/786…

Wow, this is really happening. I'm surprised to hear this, very interesting, thanks!

You can also check [1]: "through a collaboration with researchers from The University of Texas at Austin, we expose the use of GPS spoofing in active Russian combat zones, particularly Syria, for airspace denial purposes. This is a capability scarcely reported in the public domain. Using data from a scientific sensor on the International Space Station (ISS), we are able to identify ongoing activity that poses significant threats to civilian airline GPS systems"

- works best on desktop though

You worked on both the Aegis and the S400? That seems a bit implausible. Or do you mean you worked on one of them and therefore can compare them (without experience of the other)?

Then there's also S500 now, which can shoot down anything that flies, including stealth planes, ballistic missiles, hypersonic planes, and LEO satellites. This is a typical example of asymmetric warfare. The US spends 1.5 trillion building a super plane, Russians spend 1/1000th of that building the thing that can make use of such a plane a costly proposition (even if it can't _reliably_ shoot it down), and offers it…

Just like the SR-71 that flew over Russia with impunity because they couldn't hit it if their countries life depended on it. Oh, yea and we built that almost 50 years ago and you still couldn't hit it today. There are stories of Russias MiG aircraft just falling out of the sky when attempting to reach the altitude of the SR. Russians then built the Stainless steel Mig 25 which was then of course stolen and revealed just how bad the Russians are with metallurgy.
