Modern radionavigation systems play a critically important role in the functioning of the global economy, transportation, defense, and everyday life. At the same time, the growing dependence on these systems creates new challenges related to their vulnerability to navigation signal jamming, spoofing of radionavigation system signals, and other types of destructive radio-electronic interference. The high dynamics of modern warfare, the development of high-precision strike complexes and systems, the implementation of network-centric automated control systems, and the increasing requirements for the timeliness, accuracy, and reliability of navigation information necessitate the improvement of both navigation support methods and hostile radio-electronic interference techniques. Under these conditions, radionavigation conflicts are among the most pressing threats to modern global navigation satellite systems, and the task of researching counteraction methods in radionavigation conflicts is relevant and necessary for enhancing the resilience of radionavigation systems and national security.The purpose of this publication is to systematize and provide an analytical overview of counteraction methods in radionavigation conflicts to identify promising directions for their development. The main types of intentional interference targeting the equipment of global navigation satellite system users are considered, in particular, the principles of spoofing interference formation; methods for detecting false navigation signals generated by spoofing devices; and protection methods against masking and spoofing interference. It is noted that ensuring effective counteraction in radionavigation conflicts requires continuous improvement of appropriate technologies and strategies, encompassing both technical and organizational aspects.
