A pilot project is being launched in Russia to protect unmanned vehicles from cyberattacks. GLONASS JSC, with the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the country, will implement a new platform based on the state information system ERA-GLONASS. This was announced by the company's CEO, Alexey Raikevich, at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
The cybersecurity of unmanned vehicles is becoming increasingly important as they are considered critical information infrastructure. Raikevich emphasized the importance of creating a trusted environment for data transmission, as well as its integration with law enforcement agencies. The platform will allow information to be transmitted from unmanned vehicles through secure channels, which will significantly increase the level of security.
At the site of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, together with colleagues, we are launching a pilot project on cybersecurity of modern vehicles, which will include highly automated transport systems.
According to Raikevich, the greatest need for modernization concerns telemetry transmission channels. Currently, attackers can use these channels to intercept control of unmanned systems, which creates serious risks.
