Does This Drone Sport the World's Most Secure OS?
+3Microkernel 'seL4' Aims to Lock Down Avionics, Cars, SCADA and More
There's a custom drone sitting in a laboratory in Sydney. Unlike many drones, no hacker has been able to take control of its flight systems.
The quadcopter represents years of work by researchers with Australia's national research agency, Data 61. What makes the drone's critical software ultra secure is a relatively tiny operating system that has been optimized for maximum security benefit.

Very interesting, and no doubt that this is the way to go...but the Aussies are not the first to claim to make the world's most secure drone...the Israelis, as a result of the hijacking of some of its drones, by Hamas, have been hardening their drones to prevent hijacking...but these are military and full sized drones.
Either way, given the havoc that a hijacked drone, of any size, could wreak, in the wrong hands, hopefully this sort of advancement will be shared.
