Core Viewpoint - The navigation signal anomaly in Nanjing on December 17, 2025, was caused by temporary interference affecting GNSS satellite signals, specifically targeting the civilian frequencies of Beidou and GPS, rather than a network signal interruption [2][3][4]. Group 1: Technical Analysis - Offline maps cannot resolve the navigation anomaly as the core issue is the interference of GNSS signals, which cannot be substituted by stored geographic data [2][3]. - The navigation system requires signals from at least four GNSS satellites to determine location coordinates, indicating that positioning signals and map data are independent systems [2][3]. - The interference specifically targeted the civilian frequency bands of Beidou and GPS, leading to unrecognized positioning signals, resulting in navigation failures even with offline maps [2][3]. Group 2: Strategic Significance - The simultaneous impact on both Beidou and GPS signals during the anomaly validates the strategic foresight of China's Beidou system in planning its civilian frequency bands [3][4]. - The compatibility of Beidou's civilian signal (B1C band) with GPS's civilian signal (L1C band) not only breaks the spectrum resource blockade but also creates a strategic balance where interference with Beidou also affects GPS [3][4]. - This design serves as a deterrent against malicious interference, as any disruption to Beidou's civilian signals will simultaneously impact GPS applications, thereby enhancing the security of China's civilian navigation services [3][4]. Group 3: Military Frequency Resilience - The signal anomaly only affected civilian GNSS frequencies, while Beidou's military frequencies remained unaffected due to their separation from civilian bands [4][5]. - The military system employs advanced anti-jamming technologies, ensuring robust resistance to interference and deception [4][5]. - The independence and resilience of Beidou's military frequencies provide stable and reliable time-space services for national defense and emergency support, unaffected by the civilian signal disruptions [4][5]. Group 4: Industry Response - The Nanjing Satellite Application Industry Association will continue to monitor industry developments and share professional knowledge on satellite navigation technology to enhance public understanding [4][5]. - The association encourages relevant enterprises to participate in discussions and will waive membership fees to facilitate communication between businesses and the government [5].
