very good Iran move on....
lol, now hacking the missile??
I heard about this Iranian tech a year ago, and also took these news with a grain of salt, but then RQ-170 happened. Now I'm more open about such possibility, jamming or misdirecting UAVs and missiles is probably doable, by Iran no less.
The same Might of Iranian Army brought down RQ-170 on ground without even harming it a little. Non of any other country have done this. ... What an embarrassing BS, isn't it?
Iran must be having access to alien tech.
I'll do the honours.....Gaining capability to intercept missiles possible... but redirecting enemy missiles tech is not possible in Iran till now IMO.
Now it`s a bit too ambitious announcement by any country ...
Any expert on missiles & radars`ll shed light on it please..

First of all, their is massive difference between a missile and a drone. Drone are controlled by human operators. However, missiles are different thing. Yes! It is possible to have some level of control over a cruise missile. However, hacking it is unrealistic assumption.
As far as this news is concerned; complete and utter BS is my verdict. Iran should prove its claim with a real experiment otherwise.

Apple and Oranges.as a matter of fact , when first planes were created everyone told that it's impossible to detect them but the creative people made radars and etc ...
Hypothetically, lot of things are proposed.Iran doesnt claim they HACK the missiles, they claim to "intercept and deflect enemy missiles away from their targets".
How it works IMO: all smart missiles have some guidance system, and if you can trick missile its (or targets) location is lets say 100 meters to the right. Missile's on-board computer will assume its hitting designated target, while in reality it missed.
The example above is doable with some missiles/UAVs, and its far easier to do than hack them. Some posters act like RQ-170 never happened, while it was tricked by Iranians just like that. And another point - drones arent always operated by humans, at least not 100% of the time. They have pre-programed automatic routes, etc.
---------------------------
About hacking, its entirely different area. Few ideas about it as well: its virtually impossible to hack missile (i.e. take full control of it) on the fly, at least not at this time. However it is possible to hack armies computer systems and take over drones control through them.
Regarding the virus: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/20...t-base-nothing-to-worry-about-air-force-says/It was already done last year, with drone-base computers hacked, and virus installed in UAVs, US army had a hard time removing them. Also how many times Pentagon and NASA were hacked? In other words, such hacking is possible, but I dont think Iran is capable of it now, unless its they who were responsible for UAV base hacking last year, nobody took the credit for it
Pray tell me how will the guidance system be connected to the guys in Iran??? Even an EMP will do nothing more than cause it to deactivate or go erratic. That too will take a very strong pulse. Changing the direction, even slightly without proper connection is like trying to hit the missile with an arrow, and these guys talk about completly rerouting it...Iran doesnt claim they HACK the missiles, they claim to "intercept and deflect enemy missiles away from their targets".

However, hypotheses are validated through experiments.
Regarding the virus: Computer Virus at U.S. Drone Fleet Base Nothing to Worry About, Air Force Says - NYTimes.com
After initially declining to discuss the infection, Air Force Space Command issued a statement late Wednesday that said the malware had been detected “on a stand-alone mission support network,” at Creech Air Force Base, near Las Vegas, but never affected the critical flight-control system that allows pilots to steer the drone aircraft and launch missile strikes overseas. The statement added that the virus was discovered on “portable hard drives approved for transferring information between systems” at the base last month.
New and unknown viruses emerge on daily basis. It takes some time to develop remedies for them. Viruses can be easily transmitted via infected portable devices. Notice that how even normal events like these result in speculations?
we have 2 kind of missles: 1- kinds that move with math and can not be controled from other places, this kind can be just jammed or destroyed to stop them 2- missiles that can be controlled, this kind of missiles have an operation system , so if you can decode the signals that control the missiles with the OS you can hack into them.
but it's not easy! it need's a program that detect the signals, decode them with different algorithms (the most important part) then sending jamming waves , and at last sending our own signals to the missiles. this program must be smart to combine diffrent algorithms and check all of them in less than 1-2 minutes to detect the algorithm. Hacked.
