“…To the best of the authors' knowledge, the majority of previous relevant reviews, surveys, and tutorials investigated the security issues of the IoD without focusing on novel, hardware-based solutions. In [12], various features of the IoD were extensively reviewed from a layered and cross-layered network architecture perspective. In addition, the integration of UAVs in cellular networks was considered in [13], and the corresponding core technologies and challenges were surveyed.…”

During the last few years, a wide variety of Internet of Drones (IoD) applications have emerged with numerous heterogeneous aerial and ground network elements interconnected and equipped with advanced sensors, computation resources, and communication units. The evolution of IoD networks presupposes the mitigation of several security and privacy threats. Thus, robust authentication protocols should be implemented in order to attain secure operation within the IoD. However, owing to the inherent features of the IoD and the limitations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in terms of energy, computational, and memory resources, designing efficient and lightweight authentication solutions is a non-trivial and complicated process. Recently, the development of authentication mechanisms for the IoD has received unprecedented attention. In this paper, up-to-date research studies on authentication mechanisms for IoD networks are presented. To this end, the adoption of conventional technologies and methods, such as the widely used hash functions, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Elliptic-Curve Cryptography (ECC), is discussed along with emerging technologies, including Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), Machine Learning (ML), and Blockchain. Additionally, this paper provides a review of effective hardware-based solutions for the identification and authentication of network nodes within the IoD that are based on Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs), Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), and Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs). Finally, future directions in these relevant research topics are given, stimulating further work.

“…The Internet of Drones (IoD) [1] is one of the hottest research topic in telecommunications today [2]. At first, it might appear as an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT), with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) playing the role of smart objects able to fly.…”

“…Since they can also fly in organized groups, namely swarms, it is worth remarking that they are able to continuously optimize their trajectory, and coordinate among themselves. Drones are currently involved in the delivery of value-added services in many applications, including goods delivery, environmental surveying, first-aid units in disruptive events [2], [3], and Flying Base Station (FBS) in Fifth Generation (5G) & Beyond scenarios, with multiple users requesting connectivity at the same time and in the same area [2]- [4]. All this turned the IoD from a niche subject to a mainstream research topic in networking.…”

The Internet of Drones (IoD) is a networking architecture that stems from the interplay between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and wireless communication technologies. Networked drones can unleash disruptive scenarios in many application domains. At the same time, to really capitalize their potential, accurate modeling techniques are required to catch the fine details that characterize the features and limitations of UAVs, wireless communications, and networking protocols. To this end, the present contribution proposes the Internet of Drones Simulator (IoD-Sim), a comprehensive and versatile open source tool that addresses the many facets of the IoD. IoD-Sim is an Network Simulator 3 (ns-3)-based simulator organized in a 3-layer stack, composed by (i) the Underlying Platform, which provides the telecommunication primitives for different standardized protocol stacks, (ii) the Core, that implements all the fundamental features of an IoD scenario, and (iii) the Simulation Development Platform, mainly composed by a set of tools that speeds up the graphical design for every possible use-case. In order to prove the huge potential of this proposal, three different scenarios are presented and analyzed from both a software perspective and a telecommunication standpoint. The peculiarities of this open-source tool are of interest for researchers in academia, as they will be able to extend to model upcoming specifications, including, but not limited to, mobile networks and satellite communications. Still, it will certainly be of relevance in industry to accelerate the design phase, thus improving the time-to-market of IoD-based services.

“…The term "post-industrial war" was updated by the events in Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) in 2020, which clearly demonstrated the capabilities of robotic weapons, which, however, have been discussed for a very long time (Boccadoro et al, 2021;Garcia-Bernardo et al, 2016;Jaber, 2019;Torossian et al, 2020). Such trends will intensify, especially since there is a demand for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for military purposes (Briscoe & Fairbanks, 2020;Zhang & Lu, 2021).…”

Based on a comparison of the perspective algorithmic foundations of combat neural networks control and processes occurring in administrative systems, a consistent interpretation of the "control" category and the concept of "distributed control" is proposed. It is shown that the interpretation of these categories should take into account the existence of a hierarchy of information processing systems, the lowest level in which is occupied by the number systems, and the highest (of the known) -human intelligence. It is shown that control, understood as a philosophical category, is not reduced to command generation (information transfer). This category also reflects the formation of information products of a higher order (languages, communication rules, etc.). It is shown that such an understanding of the "control" category makes it possible to create the basis for the purposeful creation of distributed control systems (including administrative ones), alternative to the existing ones, which are built on hierarchical pyramids. The hierarchical principle of managing complex systems, including administrative ones, no longer satisfies modern society needs for fundamental reasons associated with the objective laws of information theory. The increasing complexity of systems, including those designed to ensure the stable functioning of state apparatus, leads to the hierarchical principle of management becoming inapplicable due to a significant increase in information distortions during its compression and decompression at intermediate levels of the hierarchical pyramid. An alternative is the principle of distributed control, the means for practicing which are, among other things, combat neural networks, which are also of independent applied interest.
