Irksome Firm Nearly Ejected From Air Show
Aviakonversia, which manufactures GPS jamming equipment, was asked to leave the MAKS 2005 airshow by Russian officials.

Agents from the Federal Industry Agency and the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control charged that Aviakonversia had not received clearance from the Defense Ministry to showcase its product.

GPS jammers made by Aviakonversia were effective against U.S. GPS guided weapons during the Iraq war in March 2003.
