Title: Rocking vs. Paralyzing Drones: Anti-Drone Approaches Attacking Sensory Circuits

Abstract: Governments worldwide are developing anti-drone technology to prevent attacks in military operations, surveillance, and terrorism. The talk focuses on two approaches to anti-drone technology that target critical sensory circuits for drone stability. "Rocking Drone" [Usenix Security'15] creates an acoustic wave matching the drone's IMU resonant frequency, causing it to crash. "Paralyzing Drone" [NDSS'23] corrupts the IMU sensor data by distorting the communication channel using an EMI signal injection. Comparing and contrasting these approaches can highlight their advantages and limitations. The talk will also introduce desirable requirements for effective anti-drone technology, compare various anti-drone technologies based on these requirements, and conclude by discussing future directions for anti-drone technology.
