GPS Innovation Alliance Releases Recommendations

for the Trump Administration

to Address GPS Jamming and Spoofing

Proposal outlines immediate and long-term federal actions to strengthen GPS resiliency, protect public safety, and ensure imports, exports, and other commerce are unimpeded

Washington, D.C. (September 18, 2025) – The GPS Innovation Alliance (GPSIA) today released a set of recommendations that provides a roadmap for the Trump Administration to adopt a coordinated, whole-of-government approach to address the growing threat of harmful interference to the transportation industry resulting from jamming and spoofing of GPS, which risks public safety and impedes commerce. The proposals identify specific steps federal agencies can take to deter interference, modernize regulations, strengthen enforcement, and accelerate long overdue technology upgrades to ensure GPS remains secure and resilient.

“GPS is one of the most important innovations of the modern era, underpinning national security, critical infrastructure such as transportation, and commerce,” said Lisa Dyer, Executive Director of the GPS Innovation Alliance. “The Trump administration’s approach to “getting stuff done” is what this nation needs to finally achieve a modern GPS that is resilient to jamming and spoofing. The President’s leadership can also deter further harmful interference – actions that will benefit the most critical industries that are delivering goods and services around the world and transporting passengers safely to their destinations.”

The GPSIA recommendations call for executive branch agencies to:

Accelerate the procurement and launch of modern GPS satellites and include anti-jamming and spoofing technology upgrades in ground systems. Prepare a program plan that ensures GPS is technologically more advanced than China’s and Europe’s GPS-like systems.

Strengthen enforcement and coordination across the U.S. government to rapidly identify and respond to interference events and crack down on illegal sales and use of jamming devices.

Streamline regulatory and certification processes to accelerate adoption of advanced technologies such as jam- and spoof-resistant antennas, modern GPS signals, and anti-spoofing signal authentication.

Deter interference through public statements and diplomatic engagement, making clear the United States will not tolerate harmful jamming and spoofing outside conflict zones that risks public safety and impedes commerce.

“These are concrete, achievable actions that, if pursued, will ensure the integrity, continuity, availability, and resiliency of GPS. This approach also offers the commercial position, navigation, and timing industry time to mature and deploy their technologies so that they can meet the high regulatory bar that is appropriately set for public safety applications ,” Dyer said.

GPSIA recently led a coalition of leading industry associations across aviation, automotive, the business community, maritime, satellite, and public safety in sending a letter to the Departments of Defense and Transportation urging immediate federal action to counter harmful GPS interference. These recommendations build on that effort with clear, concrete steps the Trump administration can take to address this critical issue.
