About
Sandra Arteaga is a leading researcher in cybersecurity, with a primary focus on the vulnerabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Her most influential work, "Analysis of the GPS Spoofing Vulnerability in the Drone 3DR Solo" (2019, 98 citations), has become a cornerstone in the field of drone security. In this study, Arteaga systematically demonstrated how easily a commercial drone could be hijacked through GPS spoofing, exposing critical weaknesses in civilian UAV navigation systems. Her research has been instrumental in raising awareness about the risks of GPS-dependent drones, particularly as their use expands across industry, commerce, and recreation. By detailing the specific attack vectors and their potential consequences, Arteaga has provided a foundational framework for developing more resilient navigation systems. Her work has directly influenced both academic research and industry practices, prompting manufacturers to implement stronger anti-spoofing measures. Arteaga's contributions are especially relevant today, as the proliferation of drones in sensitive applications makes her findings increasingly vital for ensuring safe and secure UAV operations.
