Drones are transforming logistics, agriculture, emergency response, and surveillance, but their rapid integration into civilian and defense infrastructures exposes them to growing cyber threats. Attacks such as GPS spoofing, command hijacking, and malware injection can cause mission failure, data theft, or physical harm, while traditional cybersecurity methods often fail to preserve digital evidence for investigation.
To address this vulnerability, researchers at the University of Abuja and Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University have proposed the Enhanced UAV Forensic Framework (EUAVFF), a modular system that embeds forensic readiness directly into drone design.
