Over the past ten years, the study of UAVs (UAVs) has expanded significantly due to their unique properties and numerous use cases in the military, agriculture, monitoring, monitoring, video photography and other industries. Despite its widespread use, UAVs face serious cybersecurity challenges. UAS are vulnerable to various cyber attacks because they are complex systems in which the cybernetic and physical components are closely related. Attackers can attack these components, interfaces between them, wireless communication channels, or a combination of the two. The main cyber threats of the UAV are unauthorized access and seizure of control, theft or leakage of collected data, as well as data falsification (deception), allowing attackers to control the device. The questions of developing reliable protection measures, such as encryption systems for data protection, authentication mechanisms for authentication, cyber threats analysis and prediction algorithms for detecting anomalies, are discussed in this article.
