With a little more jammer power: Electronic Chart Displays Autopilot Automatic Identification System Differential GPS Satellite voice and data comms Maritime distress safety system plus … Ships Radar & Gyrocompass
© David Last xx Pictures: Jammers like this on our streets can block all frequencies of GPS, GLONASS, Compass-Beidou and Galileo, plus the QZSS, GAGAN, WAAS and EGNOS augmentation systems.
Frequency bands shared by multiple GNSSS transmissions Jammers spectrum affects GPS, Galileo, Compass and GLONASS
