Analysis of communication channels for the organization of control and interaction of UAVs from the security viewpoint

Abstract

This article considers the issues of increasing the level of security of wireless communication channels between UAVs. The topic is quite relevant, since UAVs can be used to solve critical tasks, such as search operations, reconnaissance, and relaying communications. At the same time, wireless communication channels are not physically protected, and their security can easily be compromised. The article also discusses the main vulnerabilities of communication channels for UAVs, attacks, and threats to information security. Possibilities of increasing the level of security of UAV communication channels are considered. The methods and developments suggested on this topic by the authors are briefly presented.
