Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly called drones, which have recently become increasingly widespread, are expected to grow bringing the global drone market to about $ 82 billion by 2026. In addition, alternatives against vulnerabilities and security in UAV systems are also emphasized. UAV is connected to the GCS (Ground Control Station) to perform the mission by wireless communication such as RC transmitter, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. In this paper, we describe the process of firmware operating in the Wi-Fi telemetry module, proposed by PX4 and Ardupilot, and also the problems of the this process. And we propose a method to improve the security of Wi-Fi communication between UAV and GCS to solve this problem.
