12. A hand-held navigation disruption device comprising:
a controller configured to:
select one or more satellites of an actual satellite constellation to simulate, based at least partially on an estimated position of an unmanned vehicle, and
generate a first set of simulated signals that correspond with the selected one or more satellites, wherein the first set of simulated signals comprise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) information that is different than GNSS information contained in a first set of signals transmitted from the actual satellite constellation;
a user interface configured to receive, from a user, at least one signal generation parameter;
a receiver configured to receive, from the actual satellite constellation, constellation data associated with the actual satellite constellation, the controller further configured to generate the first set of simulated signals, based at least partially on the received at least one signal generation parameter and the constellation data;
a transmitter configured to transmit the first set of simulated signals towards the unmanned vehicle;
a battery configured to provide power to the hand-held navigation disruption device; and
a housing configured to house the controller, the receiver, the transmitter, and the battery, the housing having a weight and dimensions suitable for a single user to hold and operate the hand-held navigation disruption device.
