Radar has been jammed in the past by accident, since home routers now operate on the same band. See https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/09/fcc-accused-of-locking-down-wi-fi-routers-but-the-truth-is-a-bit-murkier/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/09/fcc-a... . 5G coming in doesn't improve matters. GPS is actually reserved, so there's going to be a lot less accidental interference.

- freeone3000 7y agoConsidering it's unauthenticated, and you can buy a broadcaster in the proper band for $50 at Best Buy and load it with DD-WRT? I'm going with "as easy if not easier than GPS", considering GPS spoofing requires equipment you likely don't already have (a can of Pringles and your current router).
- gruez 7y agoThe keyword here is spoof. There's no doubt that you can jam the ground receiver (both radar and ADS-B). The key question is whether you can spoof radar returns as easily as ADS-B transmissions.
- tastyfreeze 7y agoWell some stealth is base on spoofing part of a radar return. Absorb as much of the incoming radar as possible and alter the reflection using a phased array. So its not impossible just more expensive. According to the crew on the USS Zumwalt they can make a 600' ship look as large as a cruise ship or as small as a fishing vessel. This ship is covered in radar absorbent materials and has a giant phased array to accomplish this.
