Cybersecurity Frameworks for Unmanned Aerial Systems in Civilian and Military Use

Vishnu Kumar Kaliappan

Abstract


This paper examines the cybersecurity challenges facing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in both civilian and military applications. We propose a comprehensive cybersecurity framework that addresses vulnerabilities at multiple levels, including hardware, software, and network infrastructure. The study highlights the importance of implementing robust security measures, such as encryption, intrusion detection systems, and secure communication protocols, to protect UAS from cyber threats. Case studies illustrate successful implementation of cybersecurity frameworks in various UAS applications, showcasing the effectiveness of proactive security measures. This research contributes to the development of resilient UAS systems capable of operating securely in diverse environments.
