About

Dr. Manoj Banik is a leading researcher in cybersecurity for autonomous systems, with a particular focus on securing unmanned platforms across air, ground, and maritime domains. His most-cited work, "Securing unmanned autonomous systems from cyber threats" (2016, 52 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding vulnerabilities in both human-in-the-loop and fully autonomous operations. This seminal paper has become essential reading for researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of robotics, sensor networks, and information security. Banik's contributions are particularly significant given the rapid proliferation of unmanned systems in military and civilian applications, where cyber threats pose unique challenges due to limited computational resources and remote operation. His research addresses critical gaps in securing communication links, protecting sensor data integrity, and ensuring resilient control systems. By systematically analyzing attack vectors and proposing mitigation strategies, Banik has helped establish cybersecurity as a core consideration in autonomous system design. His work continues to influence defense and commercial sectors, where securing these increasingly prevalent systems remains a paramount concern.
