THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF THE LEVEL OF COMMUNICATION SECURITY OF UAVS OPERATING AS PART OF A GROUP PERFORMING A COMBAT MISSION

Abstract

The research relevance lies in the issue of information impact on the AI of the drone and its vulnerability in order to perform sabotage actions by the enemy in local military conflicts. The article provides a theoretical analysis of the security of the information transmitted to a group of drones in order to establish the susceptibility of drones to false data and further organizational actions that can prevent the sabotage actions committed by the enemy and his allies, as well as analyzes situations when an aircraft is misinformed, which in turn entails the failure of the task by the entire group of drones. The subject and the purpose of the research is to establish the existence of the fact of misinformation by the enemy of the UAV, controlled remotely and performing a combat mission as part of a group without the direct participation of the operator. In the process of modeling the situation, theoretical analyzes of the behavior of the UAV were carried out, since the artificial intelligence in one aircraft is only able to influence its behavior and is not able, under false information impact, to establish the fact of false interference by the enemy in another drone in-group in the course of combat operations and warn other elements of the system in its group. Research methods are theoretical analyses of the communicative interaction of a swarm of drones based on the study of the research of algorithms of operator control. Obtained results and conclusion: encrypted false information transmitted with the aim of disorienting the UAV cannot be detected in advance by the classical approach to preventing cyber-attacks. In this regard, the problem of information security of drone AI remains relevant and requires further comprehensive theoretical and practical research with the involvement of IT specialists, linguists, engineers, and military experts.
