 INTRODUCTI
ON
• The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently projected that the number of
commercial UAS vehicles could reach 835,000 by 2025 – a dramatic expansion compared
to current numbers.

• As the technology behind UAVs continues to advance and their popularity in commercial
and military applications increases so does the potential for malicious actors to exploit
them.

• With the emergence of new technologies, such as autonomous flight capabilities, UAVs are
vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks.

14-02-2024 Feasibility Presentation-B tech 2021-25 4

 MOTIVATION

• The vulnerability of UAVs to cyberattacks is mainly due to their reliance on wireless

communications and their tendency to operate from a distance.

• They are more susceptible to interception, spoofing, and hijacking by malicious actors.

• In addition, the data transmitted between UAVs and their operators can be intercepted and
used to gain access to sensitive information or networks.

• Our objective is to develop comprehensive cybersecurity solutions that can detect malicious
activity on their networks
