Re: Galileo navigation system facing service degradation or loss of signal
#2Fun fact, the Galileo system was designed to be more accurate and difficult to jam than the civilian GPS but after the US saw this a potential threat and considered shooting down the satellites in case of a global conflict, the design was switched to a frequency they could easily jam.[1]

#8Wow! I've been having some issues navigating whilst driving with Google Maps and Strava for running these last few days. I assumed the issue was my smartphone, but I am curious to know if the issue was, in fact, due to the Galileo issues listed.

What makes a frequency easy to jam?

>The frequency initially chosen for Galileo would have made it impossible for the US to block the Galileo signals without also interfering with its own GPS signals.
Not an answer to your question but it was more about being able to jam GNSS while still being able to use GPS.
