A recent [**Yahoo News article**](https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/gps-key-global-economy-surprisingly-143438430.html) highlights a growing risk: **GPS is critical to global security, yet it is surprisingly easy to disrupt or manipulate**. GPS supports aviation, communications, finance, logistics, and critical infrastructure, and it’s susceptible to attacks and disruption. [LOCH](https://loch.io/) can protect you!

LOCH provides a solution that is easy and inexpensive to use for early warning and protection for your services that depend on GPS. Trust us like the US airports that have deployed [LOCH.io](https://loch.io/)

 

###### **AirShield GPS: Protects GPS Signals**

[AirShield GPS continuously monitors GPS signals to detect jamming, spoofing, and interference.](https://loch.io/airshield)  
Instead of assuming GPS is working, it **verifies that GPS data can be trusted** and alerts operators before bad signals cause real-world problems.

**Why it matters**

- Detects GPS interference early
- Confirms accurate position and timing
- Protects systems that rely on GPS

###### **SkyShield (C-UAS): Protects the Airspace**

[SkyShield is LOCH’s **counter-drone (C-UAS)** solution.](https://loch.io/c-uas) It detects, identifies, and responds to unauthorized drones that threaten GPS-dependent operations, especially at airports and critical infrastructure sites.

SkyShield does not protect GPS signals directly, it **protects the physical airspace** where GPS-enabled systems operate.

**Why it matters**

- Defends against drone-based threats
- Reduces risk to aviation and logistics
- Improves airspace safety and awareness

###### **NetShield AI (RMLS): Protects Decisions**

As the Yahoo article notes, GPS data feeds automation and AI across the global economy. If that data is manipulated, systems can fail silently.

[NetShield AI protects the AI itself.](https://loch.io/rmls) It detects bad data, blocks manipulation, and automatically adapts AI models so decisions remain accurate and trustworthy.

**Why it matters**

- Prevents corrupted GPS data from driving bad decisions
- Keeps AI systems running during attacks
- Maintains trust in automated operations

 

###### **Why This Matters**

GPS disruptions don’t stay isolated; they ripple across industries. As highlighted in the Yahoo News article, **the global economy depends on GPS far more than most people realize**.

Protecting GPS today requires:

- **Signal protection** ([AirShield GPS](https://loch.io/airshield))
- **Airspace protection** ([SkyShield C-UAS](https://loch.io/c-uas))
- **Decision protection** ([NetShield AI](https://loch.io/rmls))

Together, these form a **layered defense** that keeps data secure, operations running, and decisions trusted.
