Cyber-Physical Systems Challenges for UAVs: Defense Industry Insights

At ILIOS Aerospace, our commitment to delivering cost-efficient and highly manufacturable aircraft is powered by deep technical research. This article, "Cyber-Physical Systems Challenges for UAVs: Defense Industry Insights," offers a glimpse into the advanced, rigorous work our team conducts in integrating robust cyber-physical systems (CPS). By applying this high-level understanding, especially regarding system security and integrity, we ensure the sophisticated avionics and control architecture of our new Light Sport Aircraft is fundamentally sound and ready for modern airspace demands, reinforcing our commitment to building a sustainable and trustworthy platform.

Objective: This paper identifies the challenges faced by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) in advancing Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). It analyzes focus areas in CPS development and provides strategic guidance for future industry efforts.
