GPS impersonation (global positioning system) can be considered as a cyber attack form that includes generating false GPS signals to trigger an aircraft. False signals are the result of deceiving the navigation equipment, which represents a significant risk for the aircraft.

“The Mandalay International Airport published the possibility of an availability of GPS relegated as Notam and all precautions to address such conditions were established,” said the IAF in an X publication.

Notam or ‘Aviator warning’ is a notice presented with an aviation authority that seeks to alert pilots of a potential hazard aircraft.
