Operational disruption of vehicle containing GNSS receiver based on jamming sequence, environmental measurements, and geographical position information

A hand-held navigation disruption device comprising:

• a controller to:
• select one or more satellites of an actual satellite constellation to simulate, based at least partially on a position of a vehicle containing a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver,
• generate a first set of simulated signals that correspond with the selected one or more satellites, wherein the first set of simulated signals comprise GNSS information that is different than GNSS information contained in a first set of signals transmitted from the actual satellite constellation,
• receive, via a communication interface, environmental measurement information from an environmental sensor, and
• adjust the first set of simulated signals, based at least partially on the received environmental measurement information;
• a transmitter to transmit the adjusted first set of simulated signals towards the vehicle;
• and
• a housing to house the controller and the transmitter, the housing having a weight and dimensions suitable for a single user to hold and operate the hand-held navigation disruption device.

A method comprising:

• selecting, at a hand-held navigation disruption device, one or more satellites of an actual satellite constellation to simulate, based at least partially on a position of a vehicle containing a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver;
• generating, at the hand-held navigation disruption device, a first set of simulated signals that correspond with the selected one or more satellites, wherein the first set of simulated signals comprise GNSS information that is different than GNSS information contained in a first set of signals transmitted from the actual satellite constellation;
• receiving, from a user, input regarding a jamming sequence to be utilized to disrupt operation of the vehicle, the jamming sequence indicating an order in which jamming via GNSS simulation and one or more of the following types of jamming are performed:
• jamming via noise, jamming a command and control (C2) link of the vehicle, jamming telemetry signals transmitted from the vehicle, and jamming video signals transmitted from the vehicle;
• and
• transmitting, from the hand-held navigation disruption device, in accordance with the jamming sequence:
• the first set of simulated signals towards the vehicle to disrupt operation of the vehicle via GNSS simulation, and
• jamming signals associated with one or more additional types of jamming included in the jamming sequence, the first set of simulated signals transmitted before the jamming signals associated with the one or more additional types of jamming included in the jamming sequence.
