Easy solution: homing rockets that seek out the strongest signal using that band. Whitelist the sources that are official and proper.

GPS is passive so the rockets won't go for the plane... it'll go for the transmission tower.

Use less destructive devices if you'd rather risk sending humans to do the job.
