Electronic warfare further disrupts shipping in the Strait of Hormuz
Investing.com – Electronic warfare in the Persian Gulf is disrupting navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical economic chokepoints, increasing the risk of maritime collisions.
Due to the war between the United States and Israel against the Tehran government, shipping volume through the strait has significantly decreased. The strait is a bottleneck between the United Arab Emirates and Iran, and most of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas trade passes through here. Missile and drone attacks have caused eight tanker attacks in the Persian Gulf and multiple casualties.
According to Bloomberg News, widespread signal interference has made safe navigation in the conflict zone more difficult, with attackers using electronic jamming techniques to disrupt GPS. Maritime intelligence firm Windward states that this interference has been present since the conflict began and has recently affected over 1,100 ships in the Persian Gulf.
This interference has also impacted the Automatic Identification System (AIS), which is vital for navigation. Several ships in the region have been attacked in real incidents.
