Taxonomy of threats, security mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks for cargo delivery drones
摘要
Cargo drones promise to revolutionize logistics by providing efficient and eco-friendly delivery solutions for goods, including medical supplies and hazardous materials. However, the rapid integration of this technology brings significant security challenges, such as cyberattacks, drone hijacking, and regulatory hurdles. This article presents cargo drones’ substantial threats and vulnerabilities, focusing on cybersecurity risks and physical security issues. It also discusses future directions, emphasizing the need for robust security frameworks and regulatory measures to ensure safe and secure drone operations. The aim is to balance fostering innovation and safeguarding public safety and supply chain integrity. In addition to security concerns, broader challenges are encountered by the logistics sector in adopting drone technology. Discoursing these challenges is essential, as the findings of this research present valuable insights for practitioners and researchers seeking to apply new technologies effectively within the logistics landscape.
