Utah State Drone program. http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/04/20/slingshot-drone-fleet-targets-us-heartland/ Slingshot drone fleet targets US heartlandA new fleet of model-airplane sized unmanned drones that can be launched from a slingshot on a moment’s notice are among the first wave in the massive rollout of commercial robot planes currently underway into U.S. skies. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have become synonymous with the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, thanks to powerful spy planes and fighters with names like Raptor and Predator. The AggieAir Flying Circus are environmental crusaders instead, deployed to prevent water shortages and solve water resource challenges in Utah. “[it’s an] on-demand fleet of UAVs that could be put in the sky at a moment’s notice,” explained Mac McKee, director of the Utah Water Research Lab at Utah State University that created the Flying Circus Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/04/20/slingshot-drone-fleet-targets-us-heartland/#ixzz1t41yo400 *click link for more* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 looking at the link i provided above: Wiretapping doesn't go "down" with a different administration. So when we seem a bit tin foil hat paranoid, i am, and i'm boring. I would love the idea that these things stop car chases, stop kidnappings and spot rapes/roberies/homicides. Though I see them spying on girlfriends and cheaters and setting up people quite a bit also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 It's the same difference as wiretapping and hh nailed it on page one. Dems hated Bush for allowing it, Reps will hate Obama for doing it. Both sides defend their own, while doing it and it just continues, over and over, down the hole we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Texas college hacks government drone There are a lot of cool things you can do with $1,000, but scientists at an Austin, Texas college have come across one that is often overlooked: for less than a grand, how’d you like to hijack a US government drone? A group of researchers led by Professor Todd Humphreys from the University of Texas at Austin Radionavigation Laboratory recently succeeded in raising the eyebrows of the US government. With just around $1,000 in parts, Humphreys’ team took control of an unmanned aerial vehicle operated by the US Department of Homeland Security. After being challenged by his lab, the DHS dared Humphreys’ crew to hack into their drone and take command. Much to their chagrin, they did exactly that. Humphrey tells Fox News that for a few hundreds dollar his team was able to “spoof” the GPS system on board the DHS drone, a technique that involves mimicking the actual signals sent to the global positioning device and then eventually tricking the target into following a new set of commands. And, for just $1,000, Humphreys says the spoofer his team assembled was the most advanced one ever built. “Spoofing a GPS receiver on a UAV is just another way of hijacking a plane,” Humphreys tells Fox. The real danger here, however, is that the government is currently considering plans that will allow local law enforcement agencies and other organizations from coast-to-coast to control drones of their own in America’s airspace. “In five or ten years you have 30,000 drones in the airspace,” he tells Fox News. “Each one of these could be a potential missile used against us.” Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real threat is not people hacking into the drones, the real threat is the drones becoming self aware and start to whack people. But you know that already don't you!..
