Demonstration of a Remote Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Hijacking via GPS Spoofing 

This jamming can be avoided. The designers amatures and don’t understand drones completely. First don’t use DJI. Build you own with Pixhawk or APM flight computers. Then set up LTE radio as a backup link. Then get a lidar unit and set it to read heigh from ground and default to use compass if GPS fails…. These boards are open source and it’s easy to tweak the code. Now if you jam RF and GPS, it will still fly using lidar, compas, and LTE com. I have tested this with multiple units and it can’t be taken down it absolutely works. The main take away here is the compass will stabilize your direction while the LiDAR will stabilize your height allowing the controller board to give you normal control or should I say manual control of the drone while you fly over LTE data essentially cell phone data. Using LTE the radio just basically replaces the Wi-Fi radio the drone essentially doesn’t know anything is changed other than the data is going across encrypted cell phone rather than Wi-Fi. The only side effect is during this jamming the drone itself does not actually have a locked position so it’s flying manually under your control but it’s getting all the normal stabilization that a drone flying manually would anyway you essentially only lose return to home function but you have full control LTE and your video stream is coming back over LTE as well so you haven’t lost anything and you have full manual flight. The only way to jam this bird would be with high power cell phone jamming in which case they’re going to take their own phones out of service in the process as well as any other legitimate emergency or 911 system call in trying to do this. What I’m trying to say is you’re pretty safe from being jammed in this method.

This likely happened to the ship that hit the fishing boat near North Korea a few years back.

Is it possible to build a large drone that can lift the mass of a large spool of fiberoptic cable that is connected to a smaller drone? If so the military can weaponize this system

What if it’s not in auto pilot?

I have a project to spoof a gps at A&M university. Any tips?

my brother is a commercial freight pilot. lately a lot of flights get GPS-spoofed and become unable control. luckily my brother could manually enter the coordinates and override the systems, but for a few minutes the plane was unresponsive and was controlled by a third party. he was underway from johannesburg via jemen to amsterdam. we think this is 'practice' for a new kind of warfare. this is a terrifying idea. even the de-icing systems on the wings were shut down so that the flaps didn't work...

How any hardware is available

i bet a 12guage would "hijack" the shit out of it...

GPS actually tracks in four dimensions not three. It would also be easier to control the craft directly rather than trough GPS>

IS there someone I can contact about this?

Anybody help me hack US-Drones, I want to start home delivery pizza service.
