Hi Dave: The article shows a photo of a Predator, yet what the UoT guys did was hack a toy helicopter that used only the L1 civilian GPS signal. My guess is that they used a home made 3rd generation GPS simulator with a moderate power amp and antenna. http://www.prc68.com/I/5001A.html - first

Hi Steve: It's my understanding that they do have baro altimeters, gyros and accelerometers plus some other flight stability inputs. But . . . they seem to be vulnerable to some forms of GPS jamming or spoofing. If jamming started out with the same satellite positions as were currently in the

Interesting this idea: mounting a bottom GPS antenna to check for unexpected signals... and you don't need a complete GPS receiver maybe only a sort of selective field strength meter or something like the codeless GPS receiver used by Vaisala on their radiosondes. On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 6:45 AM,

Whether it's spoofing or jamming, domestic drones are becoming ubiquitous, because they are just so tempting, and sooner or later one is gonna crash onto a populated area, either by accident or deliberate mischief. A piloted aircraft may be able to avoid hitting a school; a drone may not. -John

IMO, your failure rate estimate does not include the probability that some people might not like being spied on by UAVs. I can easily see a market for ground based GPS jammers, especially, in the more rugged, fertile, and inaccessible areas of California. YMMV, -John = On

Mount a GPS antenna on the bottom of the UAV. If you get strong signals from that antenna, assume information assurance has failed. There are countermeasures, and of course counter-counter-measures. Here is a photo of a predator spying on me:

Too little, too late. Iran proved they could get through their supposedly encrypted system (yeah, right, encrypted). Civil air patrol uses volunteers to fly border missions for under $100 an hour, which is far cheaper than those drones. But it doesn't make the drone manufacturers any money.

The USAF rediscovered manned aircraft for surveillance lately such as the U-28 or the civilian version (PC-12). They don't attract as much attention. Also the MC-12, which is just a Beechcraft. The FBI flies Cessnas. There is a lot to be said for hiding in plain sight. Back to the GPS
