RAS- Geofencing

A Geofence is a GPS boundary programmed into a drone intended to keep it within a safe zone. It requires a physical GPS module and firmware to monitor the drone’s position and limit its behavior. Touted as a method to keep drones from airports and sensitive areas, mandating geofencing is gaining popularity in legislative bodies. Unfortunately, defeating geofencing is simply a matter of changing firmware or altering the drone’s GPS module.
- Inexpensive software available on the Internet will erase all limits programmed into a OJI drone.
- Video tutorials show how drones can be forced into an assisted manual mode with anti-RFID mesh or even aluminum foil.
- Racing drones do not use GPS and advanced flight controllers are available on-line by the dozens.
