TL;DR: In this study, autonomous and unmanned vehicle systems are examined for their cyber-security vulnerabilities and threats and attacks exploiting these vulnerabilities are identified and classified.
Abstract: Technological developments towards vehicle automation have been taking place for years. Satellite navigation, cruise control and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) are well-known examples of automation technology used in everyday cars. The trend of automation technology being used in vehicles is expected to move closer to full autonomy through technological advancements in robotics and artificial intelligence. As a result, our daily lives will become more and more dependent on digitally-controlled devices and vehicle systems (partially or highly automated). On the other hand, computing and digital systems also have a tendency to become more fragile and susceptible to faults and failures because of cyber-attacks and software and hardware defects, as well as accidental defects introduced by developers. Therefore, autonomous vehicle systems must be developed to bear such dangers in mind and must be equipped with defensive capabilities and measures such that they can be able to respond automatically and dynamica...

TL;DR: The Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM) is developed to enable a layered approach and gradual solution improvements of service interoperation problems and methods of model-based data engineering for semantically consistent service integration as a first step.
Abstract: Service-oriented architectures promise easier integration of functionality in the form of web services into operational systems than is the case with interface-driven system-oriented approaches. Although the Extensible Markup Language (XML) enables a new level of interoperability among heterogeneous systems, XML alone does not solve all interoperability problems users contend with when integrating services into operational systems. To manage the basic challenges of service interoperation, we developed the Levels of Conceptual Interoperability Model (LCIM) to enable a layered approach and gradual solution improvements. Furthermore, we developed methods of model-based data engineering (MBDE) for semantically consistent service integration as a first step. These methods have been applied in the U.S. in collaboration with industry resulting in proofs of concepts. The results are directly applicable in a net-centric and net-enabled environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss ideas for improving the composability of future models and simulations developed or used by the U.S. Department of Defense, and present many suggestions on both policies and investments that would enhance prospects for composability.
Abstract: This paper discusses ideas for improving the composability of future models and simulations developed or used by the U.S. Department of Defense. It is largely based on a much longer report requested by the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office (DMSO) as independent advice in developing a program to pursue composability issues. This paper presents many suggestions on both policies and investments that would enhance prospects for composability. 1

TL;DR: It is shown that the hacker can make irreparable damage and take complete control over the UAV by compromising the communication link between the operator and UAV and uses Robot Operating System-based tools to alter the flight path.
Abstract: The federal aviation administration has estimated that by the year 2020, the United States will have over 30,000 drones. Nowadays, drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are ubiquit...

TL;DR: This paper proposes a model of process maturity for simulation validation that automatically transforms informal user need statements into formal validation criteria and then applies mathematical techniques to prove conceptual model and simulation results validity.
Abstract: This paper proposes a model of process maturity for simulation validation. The development of this model begins by recognizing validation as a process that generates information as its sole product and therefore resembles a systematic quest for truth. These characteristics distinguish the simulation validation process from other processes such as those for manufacturing or software engineering. This development then substitutes process objectivity and the properties of quality information for the difficult-to-measure qualities of truth. The properties of information quality are defined by the completeness and correctness of the information and the confidence that the information producer has that the information is complete and correct enough to serve a particular purpose. These parameters come by amalgamating the notions for information quality held by the process improvement and traditional scientific communities. The validation process takes validation criteria, the referent, the simulation's conceptua...
