Operators of commercial geospatial imagery services on Sept. 15 agreed that unmanned aerial vehicles are an increasingly useful complement to their business but are unlikely to pose a direct threat to satellite systems for defense and intelligence customers.

GPS World
Back again in Portland, Oregon, the 2016 Institute of Navigation's ION GNSS+ conference was a great opportunity for the GNSS community to catch up on what's been cooking in the industry, and of course who's been doing what in the research community.
The attendees eagerly took to a wide range of technical paper presentation sessions, and from time to time came to take a look at what industry had to offer on the exhibit floor.

GPS spoofing is the ability to fake or spoof your location. In other words, your GPS receiver reports a false location rather that the actual position. It works because the spoofing equipment generates a stronger signal than the GPS background signal.
