Some of the things don't add up:
The aircraft probably can't turn back if the GPS signal is also jammed. If they jam the satellite control they probably jammed the GPS too.
Turning back without error without GPS require either better image recognition than what is publicly known today (I highly doubt it has that for navigation, plus its 4 years old), or very precise magnetic heading, plus a map, and track the position relative to the speed. Thats doable, but, I'm doubting it.
More likely, once all GPS and control signals were jammed, the plane went into fail-safe aka going straight til out of fuel.
I also doubt that the manual LOS control was unencrypted, but hey, who knows. AFAIK one earlier drone got issues because the video was analog non encrypted video...
- sigterm 15y agoThere is something called: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system Not very accurate but should provide enough guidance for the plane to get out of hostile territory.
