"GPS signal required for navigation" - how do the rest of us manage then?

The big issues are of-course a little different...

- Making it as safe to other airspace users as manned aircraft
- Sense and avoid of other aircraft
- Ensuring that if the UAV malfunctions or becomes uncertain of position, it can recover sensibly and safely.

There's been a heck of a lot of work on all this already, but I can't see all the problems being solved by 2015.
