Description

Unmanned Aircraft Systems are an integral part of the US national critical infrastructure. The authors have endeavored to bring a breadth and quality of information to the reader that is unparalleled in the unclassified sphere. This textbook will fully immerse and engage the reader / student in the cyber-security considerations of this rapidly emerging technology that we know as unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). The first edition topics covered National Airspace (NAS) policy issues/ information security (INFOSEC)/ UAS vulnerabilities in key systems (Sense and Avoid / SCADA)/ navigation and collision avoidance systems/ stealth design/ intelligence/ surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms; weapons systems security; electronic warfare considerations; data-links/ jamming/ operational vulnerabilities and still-emerging political scenarios that affect US military / commercial decisions.
