NATO plans to buy jammers that black out GPS for 11 km
NATO's Allied Command Transformation is planning to buy six portable electronic-warfare kits able to disrupt satellite-navigation signals and unmanned-aircraft control and video links during training. The proposed equipment would reproduce a contested electromagnetic environment, including GPS denial reportedly extending to approximately 11 kilometers under specified conditions, for allied air, maritime and drone operators. The procurement schedule calls for a request for proposals on October 26, bids by November 30 and an anticipated award on December 11, 2026. The activity is a planned training-system purchase, not evidence of six systems already delivered or a general authorization for operational jamming.
