Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofing is a common mean to cheat an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which is guided by the INS/GPS integrated navigation system. Detecting the spurious GPS signal is the precondition of anti-spoofing for UAVs. A detection system of GPS spoofing is designed based on dynamics identification. The centroid motion model and attitude motion model were established. The measurement information from inertial measurement units (IMUs) and positioning information from GPS both are visualized responses to the dynamic laws of UAVs. These two types of measurement information were separately used to estimate the dynamics parameters of UAVs online using two Extended Kalman Filters (EKFs). The detection of spurious GPS signals was realized effectively based on the monitoring of relative estimation errors. Numerical simulations demonstrated that the dynamics parameters could be estimated online by the combined filters. And the precision and accuracy of filter #1, which was based on IMU information, were both higher than those of filter #2, which was based on GPS information. When the spurious GPS signal was just zero-order continuous with the true signal at the penetration point, a pulse relative error would occur at the penetration point; when the spurious GPS signal was first-order continuous with the true signal at the penetration point, a step relative error would occur. Furthermore, relative systematic errors matched with the period of spurious signals.
