[Hongke Solutions] GNSS Simulators Respond to the Strait of Hormuz Incident

In February 2026, widespread GNSS signal anomalies were observed in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters.. Sudden jumps in vessel positions; AIS tracks abnormally appearing at airports, nuclear power plants, or even inland areas; and vessel group trajectories forming “circles” or “zigzags.”. A large number of vessels were forced to slow down, drop anchor, change course, or even shut down their AIS systemsThe

Daily oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz account for approximately 20 percent of the global total; oil tankers loaded with hundreds of thousands of metric tons of crude oil and measuring up to 300 meters in length require a considerable distance to turn or come to a stop.. When the exact positions of nearby vessels cannot be determined, the risk of collision increases significantly. This incident demonstrates that GNSS signal interference and spoofing are sufficient to make it difficult for commercial vessels to navigate through high-traffic watersThe

In the face of increasingly severe electromagnetic threats, how can manufacturers of positioning devices ensure that their devices maintain a minimum level of security even when signals are interfered with or spoofed?? This article will provide an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms underlying GNSS signal vulnerabilities and presentHongke GNSS Simulator SolutionHow to Help Multiple Industries Overcome Complex Location Verification ChallengesThe

I. The Intrinsic Vulnerability of GNSS Signals

The fundamental reason GNSS is susceptible to interference is that the satellite signal power reaching the receiver antenna is extremely low.. For example, among the minimum receive power levels specified in the GPS SPS standard, L1 C/A is approximately -158.5 dBW, L2C is approximately -160.0 dBW, and L5 is approximately -157.9 dBW (the L1 carrier frequency is 1575.42 MHz, and the C/A code rate is 1.023 Mcps).The

Real GNSS signals are inherently buried more than ten dB below the noise floor; receivers operate based on pseudocode correlation, long-term accumulation, and tracking loop gain, rather than by “directly seeing” the satellite signals.The

From the perspective of signal mathematical models, the receiver input can be expressed as:

 
其中 s(t) 是真實衛星擴頻訊號,j(t) 是人為干擾或偽造訊號,n(t) 是熱噪聲。

included among these s(t) It is a real satellite spread-spectrum signal,j(t) It is human-induced interference or a falsified signal,n(t) It is thermal noise.The

II. The Impact of Spoofing on Location Determination

The essence of the deception lies in constructing an interference signal with “correct correlation structure but false geometric relationships,” causing the receiver to continue outputting a position solution that is, however, entirely controlled by the attacker.. GNSS spoofing is more dangerous than jamming; its goal is not to prevent the receiver from “determining its position,” but rather to cause it toConsistently locating the wrong spotThe

1. Relay-based spoofing (Beaconing / Replay)

After receiving the actual satellite signal, it is relayed and an additional delay is introduced, causing the pseudorange to increase overall and shifting the position solution toward an offset point.. Since the signal originates from a real satellite, it is extremely difficult for the targeted device to detect it.The

2. Generative Spoofing

The attacker synthesizes PRN codes, carrier frequencies, and navigation messages on the ground that match those of a real satellite. First, the attacker “captures” the receiver using slightly higher power, then slowly shifts the code phase, carrier phase, and Doppler frequency, causing the position solution to continuously drift toward a target false position.The
