Abstract
A method for detecting Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) spoofing is provided. The method includes receiving signals at a GNSS receiver; processing the signals to determine a calculated position; searching a list of distance measuring equipment (DME) transponders around the calculated position to select a set of DME transponders; sorting the set of DME transponders based on a respective distance between the calculated position and a respective position of each of the DME transponders; selecting a subset of the DME transponders based on the sorting; for each of the subset of the DME transponders, incrementing a counter when a difference between a real slant range, determined by communicating with the DME transponder, and an expected slant range based on height, position and known location of the DME transponder, exceeds a first threshold; and when the counter is greater than a second threshold, indicating that the position is spoofed.
