A couple of years ago, I was at a defense exhibition in London and was one of a party being shown around a large British warship. I asked about the vulnerability of the GPS navigation system to 'spoofing'. The reply was unusually candid. Just a few months previously, the ship has been subjected to an intense effort to jam or spoof the GPS navigation system in order to test the vulnerability of such systems to such attacks. The worst these attacks did was to move the ship (virtually) eight feet.....
