Researchers Remotely Hijack Drones on the Cheap

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have demonstrated that a civilian drone can be hijacked by spoofing its GPS signals. The news comes as the United States Federal Aviation Authority prepares to integrate drones into the country's national airspace system. This task is mandated by the FAA Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2012, signed into law by President Barack Obama in February. It is scheduled for completion by 2015. Thousands of drones are expected to fly in U.S. air space by 2015, and they will be used by law enforcement agencies as well as private businesses.
