Dr. Manshari explains that the missiles that landed here are ballistic missiles that do not require GPS systems. Unlike hovercraft or cruise missiles that rely on GPS systems to fly and change direction, ballistic missiles have a pre-programmed trajectory that is not affected by GPS jams. The success of intercepting these missiles was due to the Home Front Command’s ability to use alternative methods such as radar for navigation and tracking.
According to Dr. Manshari, successful interceptions of GPS-based missiles and UAVs that were fired at us occurred outside the country’s territory. The American GPS system used in Israel covers the entire planet, but other countries also have their GPS systems, which can be disrupted through different jamming methods. This disruption can create challenges in intercepting ballistic missiles with pre-programmed trajectories, highlighting the importance of utilizing alternative navigation methods such as inertial navigation and radar systems for proper guidance.
Taking precautions in various apps, such as notification, food ordering, and dating apps, can help ensure accurate locations are maintained despite GPS disturbances. It is crucial to understand the limitations and risks associated with GPS disruptions and stay informed about potential disruptions to navigate effectively during challenging situations. By utilizing alternative navigation methods and staying informed about potential disruptions, it is possible to mitigate the impact of GPS disturbances on daily activities.
