A selective GPS denial system includes a plurality of GPS deniers for disrupting reliable operation of GPS receivers, a plurality of remote sensor interfaces, a gateway, and a computer management system. Each of the plurality of GPS deniers may be selectively activated. Each remote sensor interface is associated with a respective GPS denier such that each remote sensor interface effectuates the activation of the respective GPS denier. The plurality of remote sensor interfaces and the gateway are communication nodes in an ad hoc wireless network. The gateway communicates instructions to one or more of the plurality of remote sensor interfaces to selectively activate the GPS denier respectively associated therewith. The computer management system is disposed in communication with the gateway and controls the instructions communicated by the gateway, thereby selectively controlling which GPS deniers are activated.
