Abstract
The next great innovation in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technology is smart UAVs, which aim to provide new possibilities in numerous applications. There is an increasing usage of UAVs in various fields of civil applications including live tracking, wireless connectivity, distribution of goods, remote sensing, protection and surveillance, precision agriculture, and review of civil infrastructure. UAVs or drones have a tremen- dous potential to provide smart farming with various productive solutions. Internet of Things (IoT) technologies together with UAVs are anticipated to transform agriculture, allowing decision- making in days rather than weeks, offering substantial cost savings and yield increases. These technologies are employed in a number of different ways, from monitoring crop status and amount of moisture in soil in real time to using drones to help with activities such as the application of pesticide spray. Nonethe- less, the employment of such IoT and smart networking technol- ogy, exposes the smart farming ecosystem to cyber security risks and vulnerabilities. This survey gives a detailed understanding of UAV applications in Precision Agriculture (PA). In this survey, we demonstrate a comprehensive analysis on security and privacy in a smart farming scenario. In this complex and dispersed cyber- physical environment, we describe how Blockchain technology along with 5 G in UAVs communication network can dissipate the security issues of the network. The survey addresses possible scenarios for cyber threats and the advancement in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence that can boost cybersecurity. At last, the survey outlines open research issues and future directions in the field of cybersecurity in UAVs and PA.
无人机(UAV)技术的下一个重大创新是智能无人机,其目的是为众多应用提供新的可能性。无人机在民用领域的应用日益广泛,包括实时跟踪、无线连接、货物配送、遥感、保护和监视、精准农业以及民用基础设施审查。无人机在为智能农业提供各种生产解决方案方面潜力巨大。物联网(IoT)技术和无人机预计将改变农业,使决策制定从数周缩短到数天,从而大幅节约成本并提高产量。这些技术的应用方式多种多样,从实时监测作物状态和土壤湿度,到使用无人机帮助喷洒农药等活动。尽管如此,这种物联网和智能网络技术的应用还是使智能农业生态系统面临网络安全风险和漏洞。本调查报告详细介绍了无人机在精准农业(PA)中的应用。在本调查中,我们对智能农业场景中的安全和隐私进行了全面分析。在这个复杂而分散的网络物理环境中,我们描述了区块链技术与无人机通信网络中的 5 G 技术如何消除网络安全问题。调查探讨了网络威胁可能出现的情况,以及机器学习和人工智能领域的进步,这些都能促进网络安全。最后,调查概述了无人机和 PA 网络安全领域的开放研究课题和未来方向。
