World First: System Warns Pilots of Signal Jammers at Airports
New hensec system helps airports protect aircraft against jamming and spoofing
Karlsruhe/Tegernsee, April 27 2026 – GNSS jamming and spoofing – the deliberate disruption or manipulation of satellite navigation signals – has become a serious and growing threat, particularly in civil aviation. Pilots are increasingly confronted mid-flight with unreliable GPS-based navigation systems and are often forced to take alternative measures at short notice.
As presented at AERO Friedrichshafen 2026, security specialist hensec has developed AGNOST-A, an innovative early-warning system for GNSS jamming and spoofing. The solution alerts pilots while still en route, before reaching their destination airport, if GNSS signal interference is detected in the target area.
Detected disruptions are evaluated and analysed in real time. Only when a critical threshold is exceeded is an automatic warning notice for air traffic (NOTAM) generated and transmitted via a dedicated data link channel (UAT978) across the affected region.
Aircraft equipped with compatible receiving technology can display the warning directly in the cockpit. This enables pilots to assess GNSS signal reliability in the destination area well before landing.
According to hensec, the complete electronics system is housed in a weatherproof outdoor control cabinet, allowing straightforward installation at airports and airfields. The company describes the solution as a world first.
