geb Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Has anyone toyed with using a trigger to simulate Electronic Warfare ground based GPS jammers? I guess the trigger could go over the point where the device would be, and upon entering the zone it would trigger a failure, but is there a failure option for navigation and gps? The intention would be to cause the JDAM to fall like a dumb bomb or better yet veer off of target, and would foul up the plane's navigation as well?
Eddie Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 It's not possible to simulate GPS jamming in DCS at present. However, GPS jamming wouldn't cause either of the things you suggest. JDAM is INS guided with GPS assistance, it'll work just fine without GPS (in fact the first 10-15 seconds of its flight don't use GPS anyway). The same goes for modern aircraft, GPS is only used to refine and update the INS, they'll work just fine without it, albeit with the potential for INS drift to be an issue.
