Jst2fst Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 We're gonna end up blowing the thing up if they won't return it. My guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 The GPS hack makes sense....more sense than them actually taking control of it. I'm leaning towards this being what actually happened. There's nothing to 'blow up'. The drone is in a secure facility and more than likely in several pieces by now. Any chance to destroy it before any intelligence was gathered was long gone.Hmmm....in order for the Iranians to do this..they had to know it was up in the air. Maybe this thing isn't as stealthy as we think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysix Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 If drone technology is anything like cell phone technology we will have a better one out next month and they will have the "old model" (see iphone) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 What scares me is they can do this to gps-guided missiles like the tommahawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InyaAzz Posted December 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 This is known exploit. China has been 'testing' GPS disruption for a while now...with much success. What's scary, is that we still rely on GPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohdaho Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 What scares me is they can do this to gps-guided missiles like the tommahawk.wow not really the same algorithms there. tomahawks dont have rtb commands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Not repost, this article linked says how they supposedly did it.About what I suspected, but not quite the truth.The venerability was most likely originally found by US military or manufacturers.It was no doubt publicly published, and everyone in the world read it.This probably happened 20 years ago on 30 year old technology.We've been flying these since the Korean War, used them in Vietnam, and I saw one just about identical back in the 1980s.Yes, they (most everyone) are that far behind. It took at least twenty years to figure out how to trick one into landing somewhere else, and actually do it.But, jamming and "re-programming" the GPS is a half-truth. Nothing was re-programmed.But you can change the GPS signals that it receives, so that it thinks it is someplace else entirely. It would still be tricky to do that and spoof it to an accurate but false auto-return airport landing.edit: Btw, we've been doing this type of GPS spoofing ever since GPS was invented... Nothing new, but not much in the public about it. The Russians were using it in Baghdad, during Desert Storm. They were testing their equipment in a combat environment. We made a complaint about that. I'm pretty sure the Russians or Chinese were advising on this one also. More likely supplying the equipment so they could see if it worked.GPS is not encrypted per se. It's public signals for navigation brought to everyone by the USofA. Edited December 16, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
