SELECTIVE GPS DENIAL SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A selective GPS denial system, comprising:
- (a) a plurality of GPS deniers for disrupting reliable operation of GPS receivers, wherein each of the plurality of GPS deniers may be selectively activated;
(b) a plurality of remote sensor interfaces, each remote sensor interface of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces being associated with a respective GPS denier of the plurality of GPS deniers such that each remote sensor interface effectuates the activation of the respective GPS denier, wherein the plurality of remote sensor interfaces are communication nodes in an ad hoc wireless network;
(c) a gateway, serving as a communication node in the ad hoc wireless network, that communicates instructions to one or more of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces to selectively activate the GPS denier respectively associated therewith; and
(d) a computer management system, disposed in communication with the gateway, that controls the instructions communicated by the gateway, thereby selectively controlling which GPS deniers, of the plurality of GPS deniers, are activated.

Abstract
A selective GPS denial system includes a plurality of GPS deniers for disrupting reliable operation of GPS receivers, a plurality of remote sensor interfaces, a gateway, and a computer management system. Each of the plurality of GPS deniers may be selectively activated. Each remote sensor interface is associated with a respective GPS denier such that each remote sensor interface effectuates the activation of the respective GPS denier. The plurality of remote sensor interfaces and the gateway are communication nodes in an ad hoc wireless network. The gateway communicates instructions to one or more of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces to selectively activate the GPS denier respectively associated therewith. The computer management system is disposed in communication with the gateway and controls the instructions communicated by the gateway, thereby selectively controlling which GPS deniers are activated.

23. A method for selective GPS denial, comprising:
-
(a) disposing at least a portion of a selective GPS denial system in an area of interest, the selective GPS denial system including;
(i) a plurality of remote sensor interfaces, each of which is associated with a GPS denier, that form the communication nodes in an ad hoc wireless network, and (ii) a computer management system that communicates instructions to one or more of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces to selectively activate the GPS denier respectively associated therewith;
(b) determining the location of each of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces within the area of interest;
(c) identifying one or more regions within the area of interest in which GPS denial is desired;
(d) transmitting instructions to selected ones of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces, in the identified regions, to activate the respective GPS deniers associated therewith; and
(e) at each of the selected ones of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces, in response to receiving the transmitted instructions, activating the GPS denier associated therewith, thereby causing GPS denial in the identified regions. - View Dependent Claims (24)
