Making a good thing better: Jammertest 2023 Jamming, Meaconing, Spoofing, and Synchronization on the Norwegian Coast

Jammertest is the largest known GNSS jamming, meaconing, and spoofing test event in the world which has an open policy towards both user participation and user communication with no restrictions on the sharing of data or publication of results. The organizers implemented several changes and enhancements within the 2023 test campaign to further broaden the appeal and applicability of the tests for as many demographics of GNSS users as possible. More than 200 participants from 19 nations took part in person from 18-22 September at the test sites along the west coast of the Andøy island. This paper summarizes the design and motivation of the tests and test venue with particular attention to the efforts taken to provide users with precision timing and frequency references independent of the denied and disrupted GNSS signals. Aspects of surveilling and enforcing unintentional emissions, and real time communication and coordination to the large number of distributed participants are also discussed.
