ABSTRACT
The purpose of this paper is to outline and summarize the latest technology on UAV security. This is driven by the growing market share represented by the technology. A silent yet vital revolution is happening: UAVs are becoming cheaper and more widely used. Unfortunately, the security and safety aspects were overlooked by manufacturers who eliminated potential threats and considered small UAVs as toys. To demonstrate the importance of UAV security once again, real examples of vulnerabilities and dangerous attacks are shown.
