UC Irvine’s FlyTrap Attack Defeats DJI Mini 4 Pro and HoverAir X1 Autonomous Tracking With an Ordinary Umbrella
UC Irvine researchers discovered FlyTrap, a physical attack that defeats autonomous drone tracking using an ordinary umbrella. Tested on the DJI Mini 4 Pro, DJI Neo, and HoverAir X1, the technique redirects drones close enough to capture with a net or force to crash — no jamming required.
