Information Security for Unmanned Systems

Abstract

The primary mission of unmanned systems is to perform reconnaissance and gather electronic intelligence. Information gathered by these systems is most often sensitive and steps should be taken to ensure its security and integrity. This report will discuss the role of unmanned systems with respect to intelligence gathering and give an overview of methods which can be used to ensure the security and integrity of the intelligence data gathered by these systems. This will include an introduction to signal scrambling, encryption techniques, and tradeoffs involved in the use of these methods of information security.
