Navigation Warfare

Navigation Warfare (Navwar) involves tactics and technologies used by military forces to protect their own navigation signals and disrupt those of adversaries. It aims to ensure safe, accurate positioning and movement of assets while denying the same to opponents. This can include jamming or spoofing GPS signals, cyber attacks on navigation systems, and deploying physical or electronic countermeasures. Navwar is crucial for maintaining territorial advantage, especially in contested or high-threat environments, where reliable navigation is essential for coordination, targeting, and safety of military operations.
