meaconing

Meaconing is more of a concern to personnel in navigation ratings than to radio operators.

Meaconing had been used frequently during the Cold War.

Meaconing is the interception and rebroadcast of navigation signals.

Meaconing in this case could provide a drone with false altitude measurements, causing a crash landing.

Since communications personnel operate the transmitters, they must know how to deal with any communications problems resulting from meaconing.

Meaconing is the term to describe the interception and the rebroadcasting of navigational signals in order to confuse the sending aircraft as to its true location.

Meaconing is the combined intelligence and electronic warfare of learning the characteristics of enemy navigation aids, such as radio beacons, and retransmitting them with incorrect information.

Meaconing is among alternate theories for some aircraft crashes, such as Korean Air Lines Flight 007 and the 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash.

In the novel and miniseries of the John J. Nance novel Pandora's Clock, an attempt to warn the airliner about an impending attack is summarily dismissed as an attempt at meaconing.

Successful meaconing can cause aircraft to be lured into "hot" (ambush-ready) landing zones or enemy airspace, ships to be diverted from their intended routes, bombers to expend ordnance on false targets, or ground stations to receive inaccurate bearings or position locations.
