Report Finds UAVs Are “Dangerously Vulnerable” To Hackers. The Christian Science Monitor (7/3, Clayton) reported that a federal study found that commercial UAVs are “dangerously vulnerable to hackers” unless “potentially costly countermeasures” are implemented. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Intentional Interference and Spoofing Study Team report found that “GNSS repeaters and GNSS simulation tools can transmit hazardously misleading information ‘spoofing’ GNSS use.” According to the article, this result has been “suspected” for years because of tests done by University of Texas researchers back in 2012. Meanwhile, Ben Gielow, general counsel for the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) highlighted that the issue of reliance on GPS navigation is not a problem solely with UAVs.
