| contents | We present a new simulator of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that is
tailored to the needs of testing cyber-physical security attacks and
defenses. Recent investigations into UAV safety have unveiled various attack
surfaces and some defense mechanisms. However, due to escalating regulations
imposed by aviation authorities on security research on real UAVs, and the
substantial costs associated with hardware test-bed configurations, there
arises a necessity for a simulator capable of substituting for hardware
experiments, and/or narrowing down their scope to the strictly necessary.
The study of different attack mechanisms requires specific features in a
simulator. We propose a simulation framework based on ROS2, leveraging some
of its key advantages, including modularity, replicability, customization,
and the utilization of open-source tools such as Gazebo. Our framework has a
built-in motion planner, controller, communication models and attack models.
We share examples of research use cases that our framework can enable,
demonstrating its utility. |
