The blue box is a simple radio frequency transmitter that transmits signals similar to GPS satellite signals. Today's GPS signal generators allow you to specify the location, time, speed you want to test, and the "blue box" generates this for you in real time. And no, it is not any MitM since the attacker can work independently and there is no "relay" happening. A related paper that you can read is here: https://aanjhan.com/assets/spree_arxiv.pdf Cheers!
