Through a rapid development, during the recent years unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have found applications in various operation fields. They are used in military operations, communication transmission, agriculture, aerial surveillance, research and rescue missions, infrastructure inspection, media coverage, entertainment, and even package delivery. However, along with the progress of this technology, the relevant incidents of cyberattacks against UAVs have also increased, as malicious users can interfere with the UAVs’ electronic systems and take control of such systems. Additionally, the sensors that compose it can violate privacy and pose risks to individuals and private properties. Despite the regulations and technologies that have been developed, combating malicious use remains a continuous concern in the UAVs field.
The aim of this thesis is to record and analyze the various risks and cyber-attacks that may arise against UAVs systems, as well as the way in which an organization can address the challenges presented by the malicious use of UAVs on a mass scale. In addition, an attack scenario against UAVs systems is described, along with the mitigation techniques that may be applied to prevent the relevant attacks and vulnerabilities.
