Phantom Navigator: Stealthy and Precise Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Redirection with Real-Time Tracking and GPS Spoofing

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 26, 2026 · UTC

Redirecting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from their intended mission trajectories has been an active area of research. However, existing UAV redirection attacks lack reliability, precision, and covertness for a targeted diversion. They primarily rely on physical capture, communication hijacking, or sensor spoofing. Yet, physical interception is costly, offers only a single opportunity for success, and poses a high risk of collateral damage; network-based attacks demand deep technical expertise and access to encrypted communication channels; and sensor spoofing techniques typically fall shor
