There is &#x2F; was a working solution to this called LORAN-C that is being phased out. The accuracy isn&#x27;t all that great (60 ft &#x2F; 18 metres at best) but can be used to provide a &#x27;disagree&#x27; alert to navigation systems. ( <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;LORAN-C#The_future_of_LORAN" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;LORAN-C#The_future_of_LORAN</a> )

I&#x27;d think the circular pattern comes from slight timing differences (they look like a regular sine-wave-like oscillation) between the multiple satellites being spoofed as if the transmitters were not completely in sync.<p>Disclaimer: it&#x27;s a guess - this is <i>NOT</i> my expertise.

perhaps they need to start using something like the Airborne Collision Avoidance System<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Airborne_collision_avoidance_system" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Airborne_collision_avoidance...</a>
