For unknown reasons, the GPS satellite navigation signal does not work in large parts of Poland. It is used in air and road transport, but also in agriculture and geodesy, for example. For this reason, the Polish authorities have already started monitoring the situation. However, he is not yet sure about the cause of the failure.
For now, it remains a big mystery why the GPS satellite navigation signal is disrupted in many areas of Poland. According to the Polish edition of Business Insider magazine, international experts monitoring the situation drew attention to the problem.
“In addition to aircraft, there can also be major problems for the crews of ships in the Baltic Sea. The Polish air traffic control authority has already issued a warning in this context,” emphasizes the above-mentioned magazine.
“However, air traffic does not only rely on navigation. Pilots can reach their destination even without navigation,” assures Jakub Kraus, head of the Institute of Air Transport at the Czech Technical University in Prague.
“It is not yet clear which inaccuracies in navigation the experts have identified and what their causes are. Of course, it could also be signal interference, but these would probably also be detected on the ground,” Kraus added to TN.cz.
“Our experts see a connection with the weather situation. Whether this is the real reason, we will see in the coming days after the monitoring results,” Witold Tomaszewski, spokesman for the Polish Office of Electronic Communications, told tvn24.pl.
