Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAV), more commonly known as drones, are widely used by military and civilian applications. They can be used for remote sensing, transportation, scientific research, armed attacks, search, and rescue. They can be used in applications where human presence is dangerous. Drones could be equipped with cameras, sensors, communications equipment, and weapons. UAVs can be piloted by a human from land or can be autonomous. In the future, autonomous UAVs will work collaboratively with other aircrafts. UAVs can communicate wirelessly, forming a MANET. Thus the constraints and advantages of MANETs are transferable to networks of UAV. This paper presents some networking protocols for the UAV wireless networks.
This article presents a survey of the state of art of the mechanisms to provide security to the Wireless Sensor Networks. Over the principal schemes, are the key management and cryptography, the authentication protocols and the mechanisms of clone or intrusion detection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
