The GNSS(Global Navigation Satellite System) provides important information such as Position and Navigation, Timing(PNT) to various weapon systems in the military. as a result, applications that employ satellite navigation systems are increasing. therefore, a number of studies have been conducted to deceive the weapon systems that employ GNSS. GNSS spoofing denotes the transmission of counterfeit GNSS-like signals with the intention to produce a false position and time within the victim receiver. In order to deceive the victim receiver, spoofing signal should be synchronized with GNSS signal in doppler frequency and code phase, etc. In this paper, Civilian GPS L1 C/A spoofing signals have been evaluated and analyzed by SDR receiver.

The public open signals from Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) including Global positioning system (GPS) are used widely by many peoples in the world except for the public regulated restriction signals which are encrypted. Nowadays there are growing concerns about GNSS signal spoofing which can deceive the GNSS receivers by abusing these open services. To counter these spoofing threats, many researches have been studied including array antenna techniques which can detect the direction of arrival by means of Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm. Originally the array antenna techniques were developed to countermeasure the jamming signal in electronic warfare by using the nulling or beamforming algorithm toward a certain direction. In this paper, we study the anti-spoofing techniques using array antenna to overcome the jamming and spoofing issues simultaneously. First, we will present the theoretical analysis results of spoofing signal response of Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) algorithm in array antenna. Then the eigenvector algorithm of covariance matrix is suggested and verified to work with the existing anti-jamming method. The modeling and simulation are used to verify the effectiveness of the anti-spoofing algorithm. Also, the field test results show that the array antenna system with the proposed algorithms can perform the anti-spoofing function. This anti-spoofing method using array antenna is very effective in the view point of solving both the jamming and spoofing problems using the same array antenna hardware.

Drones in the contemporary landscape have transcended their initial public utility, expanding into various industries and making significant inroads into the private sector. The majority of commercially available drones are presently equipped with GPS receivers to relay location signals from artificial satellites, aiming to inform users about the drone's whereabouts. However, a notable drawback arises from the considerable distance over which these location signals travel, resulting in a weakened signal intensity. This limitation introduces vulnerabilities, allowing for the possibility of location manipulation and jamming attacks if the drone receives a stronger signal than the intended location signal from satellites. Thus, this paper focuses on the safety assessment of drones relying on GPS-based location acquisition and addresses potential vulnerabilities in wireless communication scenarios. Targeting commercial drones, the paper analyzes and empirically demonstrates the feasibility of GPS spoofing attacks. The outcomes of this study are anticipated to serve as foundational experiments for conducting more realistic vulnerability analysis and safety evaluations.

무인 항공기(UAV, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles)는 높은 기동성을 가지며 설치 비용이 저렴하다는 이점이 있어 홍수, 지진 등의 재난 재해 감시 시스템에 이용되고 있다. 재난 재해 감시 시스템에서 UAV는 지상에 위치한 사물인터넷(IoT, Internet of Things) 기기로부터 데이터를 수집하는 임무를 수행하기 위해 계획된 항로를 따라 비행한다. 이때 UAV가 정상 경로로 비행하기 위해서는 실시간으로 GPS 위치 확인이 가능해야 한다. 만일 UAV가 계산한 현재 위치의 GPS 정보가 잘못될 경우 비행경로에 대한 통제권을 상실하여 임무 수행을 완료하지 못하는 결과가 초래될 수 있다는 취약점이 존재한다. 이러한 취약점으로 인해 UAV는 공격자가 악의적으로 거짓 GPS 위치 신호를 전송하는GPS 스푸핑(Spoofing) 공격에 쉽게 노출된다. 본 논문에서는 신뢰할 수 있는 시스템을 구축하기 위해 지상에 위치한 기기가 송신하는 신호의 세기와 GPS 정보를 이용하여 UAV에 GPS 스푸핑 공격 여부를 탐지하고 공격당한 UAV가 경로를 이탈하지 않도록 대응하기 위해 연합학습(Federated Learning)을 이용하는 방안을 제안한다.

군사 목적으로 개발된 드론은 최근 다양한 산업 및 민간 분야로 확대되고 있으며, 이러한 확대에 따라, 드론이 급격하게 발전하여, 농업이나 무인 드론 택배와 같은 산업 전반적으로 긍정적인 효과를 창출하는 추세이다. 그러나 이러한 발전에 반하여, 드론에 장착된 카메라를 통한 사생활 침해나 테러 목적으로 활용하는 것과 같은 부정적인 측면이 드러나기 시작하였다. 특히, 드론의 위치와 밀접한 연관이 있는 GPS와 관련하여, 무인 이동체의 특성상, GPS 신호에 의존하여 사용자에게 드론의 위치를 전달하지만, 이러한 GPS 신호를 송신하는 위성은 거리가 매우 멀리 위치하고, 이에 따라, 신호 세기가 비교적 약한 문제점을 가진다. 이와 같은 문제점을 악용하는 GPS 스푸핑 공격이 등장하였으며, 이 공격은 만약 공격자가 GPS 신호를 조작하여 송신한다면, 드론에 장착된 GPS 수신기는 조작된 GPS 위치를 수신하며, 이에 따라, 드론의 제어권을 탈취하거나 충돌 유발, 비정상적인 비행 경로 유도와 같은 문제점이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 최신의 상용화된 드론을 대상으로, GPS 스푸핑 공격의 취약점을 분석하고 실증한다. 이를 위하여, 공격자가 비행 금지 구역에 해당하는 GPS 신호를 조작하는 것으로 공격을 시도하고, 이에 따른 드론에서 준비된 동작인 강제 착륙과 같은 비정상적인 행위를 유발하여, 드론의 임무 수행 능력을 제한하는 취약점을 분석하고 실험을 통하여 실증한다. 본 논문의 결과를 토대로, 최신 드론에서 발생 가능한 보안 위협을 도출함으로써, 드론의 안전성을 향상시키기 위한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The present paper shows that beamforming algorithm such as Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) based on array antenna signal processing can have not only anti-jamming but also anti-spoofing characteristics. A beam pattern due to the beamforming algorithm strengthens received signal power as it is formed in the incident direction of desired signal. During the process, the effect of unnecessary signals such as spoofing signals can be reduced because the beam pattern reduces received signal power in the incident directions excluding the beam pattern-directed direction. In order to analyze the anti-spoofing effect due to the beamforming algorithm, a software-based simulation environment was configured. An arbitrary error was applied between incident direction of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signal and steering vector direction of the beamforming algorithm to analyze the received signal power and required conditions were provided to see the anti-spoofing effect due to the beamforming algorithm. The used antenna was 7-element planar circular array and beam patterns were formed through the MVDR algorithm.

Utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly expanding to various fields ranging from defense, industry, entertainment and personal hobbies. Due to the increased activities of unmanned airplanes, many security problems have emerged, including flight path errors to undesired destinations, secondary threats due to exposed securities caused by the capture of unmanned airplanes in hostile countries. In this paper, we find security vulnerabilities in UAVs such as GPS spoofing, hacking captured video information, malfunction due to signal attenuation through jamming, and exposure of personal information due to image shooting. In order to solve this problem, the stability of the unstructured data is secured by setting the encryption of the video shooting information section using the virtual private network (VPN) to prevent the GPS spoofing attack. In addition, data integrity was ensured by applying personal information encryption and masking techniques to minimize the secondary damage caused by exposure of the UAV and to secure safety. It is expected that it will contribute to the safe use and stimulation of industry in the application field of UAV currently growing.

In this study, a real-time Tactical UAS position compensation system based on image information developed to compensate for the weakness of location navigation information during GPS signal interference and jamming / spoofing attack is described. The Tactical UAS (KUS-FT) is capable of automatic flight by switching the mode from GPS/INS integrated navigation to DR/AHRS when GPS signal is lost. However, in the case of location navigation, errors accumulate over time due to dead reckoning (DR) using airspeed and azimuth which causes problems such as UAS positioning and data link antenna tracking. To minimize the accumulation of position error, based on the target data of specific region through image sensor, we developed a system that calculates the position using the UAS attitude, EO/IR (Electric Optic/Infra-Red) azimuth and elevation and numerical map data and corrects the calculated position in real-time. In addition, function and performance of the image information based real-time UAS position compensation system has been verified by ground test using GPS simulator and flight test in DR mode.
