GPS jamming in Senegal today

Last updated: 7 November 2026, 04:50 UTC

Senegal today: 55.6% of monitored areas are affected.

Background

The natural disturbance of GPS is better documented here than any jamming. Dakar hosts one of five stations in the SAGAIE network, set up in West Africa in 2013 by France's space agency, CNES, and the regional air navigation agency, ASECNA. A paper on its data describes ionospheric scintillation at Dakar starting around 7 p.m. and ending after 1 a.m. (Inside GNSS, May 2022). A low-accuracy reading after dusk could therefore have a natural cause, and the map cannot tell the difference.

We found no report of jamming or spoofing over Senegal from its authorities or ASECNA. Dakar is absent from EASA's tables dated 14 October 2026 (EASA, October 2026). Senegal is among the states behind the 2022 African paper warning that interference could limit the benefits of satellite-based augmentation (ICAO A41-WP/304, 2022). For the reporting on interference in Senegal, and who it is attributed to, see: Africa.

Only hexagons whose centre lies inside Senegal's borders are counted, so hexagons in neighbouring countries and out at sea are left out. The map is framed on 12.3 to 16.7 and -17.6 to -11.3.

Aircraft within 100 km of each city that reported low GPS accuracy. A row opens the live map over that city.

By altitude

Senegal: No clear altitude pattern. How this is read.

Aircraft observations by barometric altitude, latest update
Altitude	Aircraft	Share affected
Below 5,000 ft	74	6.8%
5,000 to 15,000 ft	88	8.0%
15,000 to 30,000 ft	127	7.1%
Above 30,000 ft	116	0.9%

Senegal: an aircraft is counted in each layer it crosses, so the rows do not add up.
