Capec-559 Detail
Orbital Jamming
Detailed Communications Likelihood: Low Typical Severity: High
Parents: 601
Threats: T63
In this attack pattern, the adversary sends disruptive signals at a target satellite using a rogue uplink station to disrupt the intended transmission. Those within the satellite's footprint are prevented from reaching the satellite's targeted or neighboring channels. The satellite's footprint size depends upon its position in the sky; higher orbital satellites cover multiple continents.
