Analysis of the impact of a GPS spoofing attack on a UAV

Abstract

The paper discusses scenarios of GPS spoofing attacks on UAVs. Three scenarios are proposed: when the attack is not carried out, when a low-intensity attack is carried out, and when an intense attack is carried out. After that, logs from the UAV are collected and the result of the attack is analyzed in relation to its impact on the cyber-physical parameters of the UAV. This analysis is carried out with the aim of further developing an intrusion detection and response system. It is necessary to understand which parameters change to what extent and under the influence of which attack scenario.
