In the subject areas of cyber security and forensics, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) provide a one-of-a-kind set of difficulties and opportunities for solutions. It’s of the utmost importance to protect these systems and guarantee the authenticity of their data as use of UAVs grows, both legally and unlawfully. Despite the fact that security solutions have been created to meet these requirements, the ever-changing nature of UAVs presents new dangers. The investigation of security issues, the identification of attackers, and the determination of the causes of accidents are all areas in which drone forensics plays an important role. Within the scope of this study, drone threat models, security problems, and privacy issues are investigated. Additionally, a comprehensive examination of artifacts, tools that are required for drone forensics investigations is presented numerous obstacles continue to exist, despite the fact that technical solutions are available. These issues include the fast growth of UAV technology and the complicated settings in which they operate. Collaboration, the creation of new processes, and regulatory frameworks are all necessary components in order to guarantee the safe and dependable operation of UAV. Furthermore, this research emphasizes significance of tackling the existing issues in drone security and forensics, and it also makes suggestions for possible future paths.
