Attacks, Detection, and Prevention on Commercial Drones: A Review

In recent years, the rising popularity of commercial drones across various industries and applications has been notable. These modern drone systems boast an array of advanced features such as Autopiloting, Video Streaming, and Swarming. However, the pressing need to address the cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent in commercially available drones cannot be overstated. The prevalence of open technologies, coupled with constraints on costs for robust security implementations, and the overshadowing focus on other functionalities underscores the urgency of this discussion. This paper aims to engage in a comprehensive discussion of current threats and propose easily implementable prevention mechanisms for manufacturers to enhance the cybersecurity of commercial drones at a broad level.
