Abstract

A system comprises processing circuitry configured to receive position data from a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver and to receive a first vehicle height above terrain (HAT) from HAT circuitry. A lateral position and an altitude are derived from the position data. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine terrain elevation based upon the lateral position. The processing circuitry is further configured to determine a second vehicle height above terrain (HAT) based upon subtracting the determined terrain elevation from the altitude. The processing circuitry is further configured to detect GNSS spoofing based upon a difference between the first vehicle HAT and the second vehicle HAT; and upon detecting GNSS spoofing, issue an alert.
