Strathclyde University has won Europe’s biggest space technology innovation competition for its work on a low-cost early detection system for UAVs. The winning project is a so-called ‘silent lookout’ system that uses low-cost sensors and satellite navigation technology for the early detection of UAVs. Dr Carmine Clemente, Domenico Gaglione

A researcher has developed a gadget that is capable of hijacking most drones mid-flight — locking the owner out and giving the attacker complete control over the device. Jonathan Andersson, a manager at Trend Micro's TippingPoint DVLab, showed off his findings at the PacSec Security conference on Wednesday, and
