Since they've become active: they're standard yellow 'warnings', not full-on red TFR's. Reading through the NOTAM text: it shows they're active between 08.00hrs and 16.00hrs.Yeah just checked out dronescene and there's a few vast NOTAMs around the place at the moment - I am lucky to be just outside one, but you have to wonder how safe I am - it's not like the jamming completely stops at the border is it ?!
Surprised they can get away with whole weeks worth of periodic jamming when so many other GPS devices surely depend on that not happening - sat nav / phones / cameras etc...
Ah well - guess they are expecting terrorism to be more drone-based in the future, so can't blame them for wanting to know GPS denial of service systems work in advance... all well and good of course, unless your bombers are FPV pilots relatively close by to target who presumably wouldn't give a rat's bottom if GPS was there or not...
For that reason at some point presumably they will have to test control signal blocking stuff as well, which is rather more of a worry, and presumably results in RED NOTAMS rather than yellow ones ?!
