Title: Impacts of GNSS Vulnerabilities in the Aviation and Maritime Sectors
Author: Dr. Ramsey Faragher
Bio:
Dr Ramsey Faragher is the CEO of the Royal Institute of Navigation, and also a Fellow of Queens’ College, at the University of Cambridge. He holds dozens of granted patents across more than 40 patent families and has worked on the navigation systems of a variety of systems across land, air, sea, and even Mars. Ramsey is the inventor of the Supercorrelation synthetic aperture processing technique for radio positioning systems and has been the recipient of numerous awards from IEEE, RIN, IOP and ION including the ION Samual Burka and Per Enge awards, the IOP Dennis Gabor Medal, and the Royal Institute of Navigation’s Harold Spencer-Jones Gold Medal.
Abstract:
This talk will look at the key findings and recommendations of the 2025 Opsgroup report into GPS spoofing in aviation, and the 2026 Royal Institute of Navigation report into GNSS interference in the maritime sector. Both studies highlighted the sheer scale and complexity of GNSS vulnerabilities in our modern transport sector. Dr Faragher will highlight the ongoing concerns from these studies, including new information that has come to light since their publications, what we can learn from them, and will discuss the recommendations and potential remedies to these serious global issues.
