The UK is building a "silent hangar" to test how military assets fare against electronic warfare.
The experimental facility will be big enough to host fighter jets, helicopters, and drones.
The new facility will help the UK get a better sense of the vulnerabilities in its equipment.

Britain's defense ministry is building a massive experimental facility to better understand how it can protect military aircraft against GPS jamming and other threats as the war in Ukraine shows the danger of electronic warfare.
