Well, any terrorist worthy of the name would locate the jammer on the
roof of a hospital or school...


Build about a dozen jammers and then launch them on weather
balloons or magnetic mount them on the side of trains or trucks.


Multiple sources, especially when pulsed are certainly more difficult
to detect.

A DF is useless against a moving target.


In the case of weather baloons, the effective area being jammed will
be moving, dependent of course, on the winds. Not to mention being a
bunch of targets that will otherwise show up, either visually or
perhaps on some sort of other surveillance device.

GPS jamming is one reason ILS and DME will never go away. Not in my lifetime.


From (among other studies) the vulnerability report, it's already

become quite clear that GPS is will complement, not replace other
navaids.

Jamming an INS is rather difficult, unless perhaps you happen to have
a big gravity source, say a large planet nearby, that you can
deploy
