You have to broadcast a malicious signal (noise) strong enough to overpower the existing gps signals, which wouldn’t be that difficult to do as gps signals are weak and come from far away.
But it’s super duper illegal and would be trivial for local coppers or military to find you and wreck your world as you would be broadcasting a strong signal that clearly indicates your location.
So yeah, I do think most of what prevents people from doing this kind of thing more is just the fact that your local police/military will fuck you up for doing it and it will be real obvious to anyone near you who did the thing. They really don’t like people messing with their gps.
I think criminals might.
To the rest of your post: I don’t understand how drones or GPS work so …maybe? How hard is it to jam GPS/how detectable is it?
Is “illegal as fuck” the only thing stopping people or are there actual technical limitations stopping it from being tried?
Then going back to my original post, are those technical limitations greater or lesser than the technical limitations of building a net gun?
How hard is it to jam GPS/how detectable is it?
Hard,
Easily detectable.
Extremely illegal as fuck…
