Maybe, I'm missing something here....UT scientists hacked into a drone that they already owned? So, they hacked their own drone, that they programmed and knew exactly how it functioned? I'm not seeing the big deal...that's like saying I broke into my own car.

if you wanted to see how hard it is to break into or hack something, you want to do so with something you own so as not to get in trouble with the law, the moral of this story is the drones are just machines running of wireless signals that can be hacked and used against the owner

It wasn't their drone, they hacked an actual military drone to prove it could be done.

the drone used in the experiment is owned by the university, nothing to do with military.
