Mobile Military Security with Concentration on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

This research investigates the increasingly complex issues confronted when implementing security in the mobile computing and operations efforts with military Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The new arenas, which have emerged within the last several years, include Homeland Security efforts, multiple simultaneous UAV operation, combat surveillance, arsenal delivery, and applications of Micro-UAV vehicles. These newer avenues for application of UAV technology share similar complexities and security risks with the mobile military security arena. The future applications of UAVs equipped with wireless Internet access, advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) mission control techniques, advanced vision systems, search and rescue systems, and bulletproof information security architectures will need the combined research efforts of multiple disciplines. The primary benefits include preservation of lives in combat, homeland, emergency, and disaster areas.
