New Mid-Flight Defense Mechanism Enables Drones to Fly Through Cyber Attacks

A team from Florida International University (FIU) has figured out a way to make drones more resilient to cyber threats.

The solution, called SHIELD, is designed to spot and take down cyber threats on drones in real time. While traditional systems stop at detection, the new tech enables unmanned platforms to finish their missions even during an active hack.

The mechanism monitors a drone’s entire control system, identifying which hardware parts are targeted. It also flags unusual behavior, such as sudden power surges, that could signal an intrusion.
