"Ontario Tech Researcher Investigating the Opportunities and Risks Associated With Drone Swarms"
Khalil El-Khatib, a networking and information technology expert in the Ontario Tech University's Institute for Cybersecurity and Resilient Systems (ICRS), recently received new research funding from Canada's National Cybersecurity Consortium (NCC) to explore a trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based framework for self-aware drone-based swarm technologies. According to Dr. El-Khatib, the communication between drones in a swarm and the unpredictability of the swarm behavior pose significant risks and unique security issues. The project aims to conduct a threat assessment and analysis of drone-based swarms and then design, develop, and test an integrated framework to protect their operations. This article continues to discuss the NCC-supported project on the opportunities and risks associated with drone swarms.
