GPS jamming, measured
Aircraft report their own GPS accuracy with every ADS-B position. Wingbits aggregates those reports — billions per week, from 6,000+ receivers in 120+ countries — into a live picture of where GPS is being degraded, and by how much.

The same measurements, drawn over the world — live from the Wingbits network.
Don’t just watch it — act on it
Everything on this page is queryable in the Wingbits.AI chat: ask the assistant about GPS jamming over any region and time window — “which aircraft were affected over the Baltic yesterday?” — and it answers from the same live network data. Then hand the watching to an agent: a scheduled AI routine that checks these numbers and delivers a report or alert to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, or email.
How we measure it
Every ADS-B position report carries NACp (Navigation Accuracy Category — Position): the aircraft’s own statement of its GPS position quality, on a scale of 0–11. GPS jamming characteristically drives NACp to 0. We count a report as degraded when NACp is below 7 — a position uncertainty worse than roughly 0.3 NM — and show the share of degraded reports per region, aggregated over ~1,770 km² hexagonal cells.
The numbers come exclusively from Wingbits’ own network: community-operated receivers whose data is cryptographically signed at the station, so every measurement is traceable to a verified physical device.
- Degraded NACp can also reflect older avionics; a single aircraft with bad GPS is not jamming. Regional shares are meaningful, individual reports are not.
- Coverage follows the receiver footprint. No data means no coverage — not that GPS works.
- We report what aircraft observe. This data does not identify or attribute a jamming source.

Questions
What is GPS jamming?
GPS jamming is radio interference that prevents aircraft and other receivers from getting a reliable GPS position. Aircraft continuously report their own GPS accuracy (NACp) over ADS-B, so widespread low-accuracy reports from many aircraft in one area are the canonical remote signal of active jamming.
How does Wingbits measure GPS jamming?
Wingbits aggregates NACp values from ADS-B position reports received by its own network of 6,000+ receivers in 120+ countries — around 10–12 billion position reports a week. A report with NACp below 7 is counted as degraded; the dashboard shows the share of degraded reports per region and how it changes over time.
Where is GPS jamming happening right now?
The dashboard above shows current degraded-GPS share per region, updated continuously. Persistent hotspots in recent months include the Iraq–Syria corridor, the eastern Black Sea, the eastern Mediterranean, and the Baltic region.
Does this data say who is doing the jamming?
No. Wingbits measures what aircraft observe — degraded GPS accuracy — and where. The data does not identify or attribute a jamming source, and regions with no data are coverage gaps, not evidence that GPS works there.
Is there a live GPS jamming map?
Yes. The live GPS jamming map is embedded on this page and available in full at wingbits.com/gps-jamming-map — it draws the same measurements shown in the statistics above, from the same Wingbits network feed.
Can I get GPS jamming alerts automatically?
Yes. Every region on this dashboard has a "Schedule report" action that creates a Wingbits.AI monitoring agent — a scheduled AI routine that checks the data and delivers a GPS jamming report to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, or email at the cadence you choose.
