Optimal decision for the satellite navigation system under navigation countermeasures based on spoofing effect evaluation results.

This paper realizes the evaluation and optimal decision of the spoofing effect on the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) under navigation countermeasures based on the game perspective, to overcome the limitations of current relevant research findings and maintain the secure application of the GNSS and maximize its defensive benefit during countering. An evaluation system based on the perspective of the game between spoofing strategies and defense measures is created to build the benefit matrix, which can solve the limitation in building a benefit matrix (the vital element in a game) that conforms to the confrontation‐oriented GNSS spoofing properties. Based on the built benefit matrix, a method integrating the grey expert‐based system with the hybrid evolutionary method is developed to realize quantifying the matrix and further make the optimal decision stably, which can solve the uncertainties of qualitative indices during quantifying and no global optimal solution for benefit equations deduced from the quantified matrix. Finally, based on various judgment principles, simulation and testing results verify the effectiveness of the obtained results and the superiority of the proposed method by comparing the results solved by the method in this paper with the results obtained by other decision‐making processing methods.
