Abstract
A UAV having a GPS spoofing detector allowing the UAV to determine during flight if the GPS is being spoofed by a third party. The UAV includes a 3-axis magnetometer that is utilized by a controller to determine if the GPS data is correct, or if it is incorrect and perhaps being spoofed. The controller compares GPS heading data with heading data provided by the 3-axis magnetometer. The controller generates an alert if heading are not correlated. This allows the controller to respond to the spoofing detection, such as by directing the UAV to return home.
