Narrative:
In cruise flight at FL340 northbound direct to ninva (fir boundary turkey). We received ATC transponder 1 & 2 alerts/ads B out fault; along with GNS sensor fail messages. We expected these to be associated with GPS jamming and complied QRH procedures. During the evaluation of these malfunctions and unannounced to us; the aircraft reverted into speed; heading and altitude hold (white annunciations). During this time the aircraft reached ninva and did not turn towards srt as it was not in navigation mode. We noticed the error and were also queried by ATC. Less than five miles off course; we corrected and were given direct srt. Flight continued to destination without further incident. GPS jamming caused prof/navigation issues. Better monitoring and awareness during GPS jamming and transponder issues.
