Methodology for risk management related to cyber-security of Unmanned Aircraft Systems

Abstract

Nowadays, the market of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) develops progressively with a lot of applications such as: infrastructure monitoring, law enforcement, environment research, goods transportation, etc. However, due to the lack of human observation, communication capacities, and protection, a UAS is an appropriate target for a criminal or a terrorist cyber attack. Therefore, risks related to the cyber-security need to be taken into account during the development of a UAS. This document presents a risk management methodology related to cyber-security. The expected result of the application of this methodology is a list of cyber-security requirements which guides the development of cyber-security countermeasures.
