By altitude

Italy: mostly low altitude, which points to local, low-power jammers. How this is read.

Background

After the aircraft carrying the European Commission president lost GPS near Plovdiv in Bulgaria in 2025, Italy said it was looking at hiding the flight paths of state aircraft (The Guardian, September 2025). Italian specialist press has described the measures Europe and Italy are taking to protect transport and critical infrastructure from GNSS interference (Cybersecurity360). For the reporting on interference in Italy, and who it is attributed to, see Western Europe.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside the borders of Italy are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 36.6° N to 47.2° N and 6.5° E to 18.6° E.

Italy is counted under Western Europe.

Italy: low reported accuracy points to interference but does not prove it, and the map cannot locate a transmitter or say who is responsible. How the map is made.
