What impact could frequent GPS interference near India's borders have on security

Discuss the potential risks and implications of GPS interference, including 'spoofing', near India's border regions.
  • GPS interference near India's borders could disrupt navigation systems of military and civilian aircraft, leading to increased safety risks and potential accidents.
  • Such interference could compromise the accuracy of location data for military operations, impacting the effectiveness of missions and border surveillance.
  • 'Spoofing', where false GPS signals are sent to deceive receivers, could mislead military and civilian users, leading to strategic blunders and security threats.
  • In the event of a conflict, accurate GPS navigation is crucial for precision strikes and maneuvering forces, making interference a serious risk to national security.
  • Critical infrastructure such as communication networks and transportation systems that rely on GPS could also be disrupted, affecting daily life and emergency response capabilities.
