EU to upgrade GPS systems as Russian jamming efforts spark response

[Mar 12, 2025]

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The European Union is upgrading a ground control center for its GPS satellite constellation as concerns over jamming of the vital signals by Russia run high.

Europe operates its own constellation of global positioning satellites called Galileo. Made up of 27 operational satellites in medium-earth orbit, the system provides positioning accuracy down to 20 centimeters horizontally and proudly boasts of being “the world’s most precise GNSS program.” [...] For the system’s newest upgrade, the Spanish company GMV has been tapped to enhance the satellite constellation’s Galileo Reference Centre in Noordwijk, Netherlands, in a contract worth up to €27.5 million, or $30 million USD. Acting as one of the cornerstones of the service, this facility keeps track of the quality of signals while also functioning as the European Monitoring and Analysis Centre in a joint UN project that includes other global navigation systems like GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou. [...]

GPS signal jamming has become a significant concern in recent years, particularly in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Especially along the frontline and in the Baltic, interruption of signals is causing inaccurate position readings, which pose problems and safety risks to civilian flights and military applications alike.

Multiple countries, including Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Sweden and parts of Germany, have experienced GPS disruptions which are often traced back to Russian transmitters.
