In the article, the possibilities of applying complex solutions to protect the electronic systems of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other important processes from cyber threats were considered. The current application of UAVs in various fields makes the security of their electronic systems relevant. Aerial vehicles can be subject to attacks by attackers who exploit physical, network, and software vulnerabilities in the data exchange process. The article analyzes such methods as data encryption, encoding methods, publishing fake data, and protection against Global Positioning System spoofing attacks. The proposed complex approaches are integrated into the existing systems of UAVs, allowing to increase the level of their security. Complex solutions involve the integration of a special encryption and coding block, as well as the implementation of a module for comparing coordinates and broadcasting false signals.
