Abstract
The popularity of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) or more commonly known as Drones is increasing recently. UAVs have tremendous potential in various industries, e.g., military, agriculture, transportation, movie, supply chain, and surveillance. UAVs are also popular among hobbyists for photography, racing, etc. Despite the possibilities, many UAV related security incidents are reported nowadays. UAVs can be targeted by malicious parties and if compromised, life-threatening activities can be performed using them. As a result, governments around the world have started to regulate the use of UAVs. We believe that UAVs need an intelligent and automated defense mechanism to ensure the safety of humans, properties, and the UAVs themselves. A major component where we can incorporate the defense mechanism is the operating system. In this paper, we investigate the security of existing operating systems used in consumer and commercial UAVs. We then survey various security issues of UAV operating systems and possible solutions. Finally, we discuss several research challenges for developing a secure operating system for UAVs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
