American researchers took control of a flying drone by hacking into its GPS system - acting on a $1,000 (£640) dare from the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

I have all ways said, since the 'lost' drone in Iran, jammed or spoofed you need to deal with loss of gps. A simple dead reckoning reality check with gps should detect spoofing. I find it hard to believe GeneralBoeingNorthrupGrummanAtomics&$theirBrothers haven't figured this out.
In order to get rid of such GPS spoofing, with accurate Dead Reckoning, an algorithm in the code can be implemented so that, the autopilot does not use the GPS signal for that period of time during which it observes sudden appreciable change of GPS Lat Long, at time when there was almost no change in acceleration in concerned direction.
Autopilot will consider the and process the GPS Lat Long data for navigation so long as there is not sudden change of North, I mean GPS lat long, while continuously monitoring the data from Dead Reckoning.
I agree, this should be the right picture:
