  My first thought was testing UAVs and what they do in situations where GPS
  is jammed, blocked or provides false information.  Doing so in an area
  where a total loss of control of the aircraft would result in a drop in
  the ocean rather than in or around a populated area is a good idea.

  Maybe there are already unit tests for such situations.
