Scientists from the University of South Australia have developed a new navigation system that allows drones to sense their location based on the stars in the night sky.

Such a system could make drones harder to detect and more resistant to jamming attacks that deny or disrupt GPS signals, one of the most common forms of long-distance navigation and positioning.

The new system combines visual observations of the stars with autopilot technologies.
