Security and Trustworthiness of UAS

An autonomous aircraft is a target in a way a remotely piloted one is not. An attacker who can shape what its sensors report, or what its learned policy decides, can redirect it without ever touching the control link. GNSS spoofing, perception attacks, poisoned training data, and compromised command links all arrive at the same outcome. This project builds defenses for those attack surfaces and, just as importantly, the assurance evidence an operator or a regulator needs before trusting an autonomous platform with real authority.
