The proliferation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) raises a host of new security concerns. Our research resulted in a prototype UAV monitoring system, which captures flight data and performs real-time behavioral monitoring. If a behavioral anomaly is found, the system will alert the operator. In addition, a novel visualization system tracks the real time behavior and flight of multiple UAVs. Our results demonstrate that application of behavioral methods facilitates efficient anomaly detection during flight, thus providing additional assurance of the mission success.
