Right - no one wants to consider this null hypothesis. Not exciting enough, I suppose. Actually spoofing GPS - which would involve masking the actual GPS signal and producing the precise nanosecond differentials from a simulated fleet of satellites needed to give a false location, seems highly unbelievable.
GPS jamming is possible, which may have led to a loss of nav (although I would have thought there may be some inertial guidance), but either way, the guidance-and-control system probably just leveled off for a smooth crash landing. (hence the way the iranians not-so-cleverly hid the underside of the UAV in anti-american propoganda posters)

Literally the plot of the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies.
- cameldrv 15y agoSpoofing GPS, at least the C/A code is not such a huge challenge. You can buy the hard part off the shelf from many vendors. For example, http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/206805 http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/206805
- jonknee 15y agoThat works to spoof GPS for your phone in a controlled location, but not for a drone that's flying unpredictable routes.
