What are the long-term implications of GPS spoofing on pilot awareness, safety protocols, and the overall aviation industry?

The normalization of GPS interference risks creating a "spoofing fatigue" among pilots, potentially leading to underreporting of incidents and a decline in situational awareness. This, coupled with the lack of consistent reporting standards and a potential lack of response from aviation authorities, could lead to more serious incidents in the future. Increased international cooperation and technological advancements, potentially including more sophisticated backup systems and enhanced anti-jamming technologies, are needed to mitigate these risks.
