I think my drone was taken down by GPS jammer

It's actually not likely at all. The OP was in full control and accidentally piloted the aircraft into a tree. See more details above.

Saw that after, but yes my initial reaction was proved.

Actually, his drone WAS jammed. Into a tree, that is.

Dang squirrels and their tree-jamming tech.

Gets us drone hobbyists all the time.

For the last 10 years almost all my flying (thousands of miles) has been around ships at sea.
Ships radar and other equipment has no effect on GPS reception or drone flying and you would have to be only a few feet away before the steel hull would have any effect on the drone's compass.

This is exactly right. If that’s all it took to jam GPS, militaries of the world would be in dire straits
