New drone trajectory planner detects and counters ID spoofing attacks

Researchers have developed a new trajectory planning framework for small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that accounts for potential Remote Identification (RID) spoofing attacks. Unlike existing methods that trust RID broadcasts, this approach treats RID data as unverified and uses physical-layer observations, such as received signal strength, to detect spoofing and assess broadcast credibility. The framework integrates this uncertainty into a Markov decision process-based planner, enabling real-time, decentralized collision avoidance. Simulations in a package delivery scenario showed a reduction in near mid-air collision events compared to traditional planners. AI
