This is the first video in a multi-part series on small unmanned aerial system (sUAS or "drone") cybersecurity. In this video we discuss commercial uses of drones, why a drone is essentially a 'flying computer,' and potential cyber threats. In later videos we discuss cybersecurity vulnerabilities and penetration testing of a drone.
This series of videos is meant to provide an overview of applications of cybersecurity (e.g., maritime, aviation, supply chain, etc.) normally not discussed in information technology or cybersecurity courses, which help provide a broadening of a students understanding of how cybersecurity affects these domains, and its importance therein.
A forward looking paper published by the Joint Special Operations University on how sUAS may change the future of warfare, co-authored by Dr. Craiger, is:
J. P. Craiger and D.M. Zorri. (September 2019). Current Trends in Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS); Implications for U.S. Special Operations Forces. Occasional Paper. MacDill AFB, FL: Joint Special Operations University Press.

The intended audiences for these videos include high school, community college, and lower-level university students who are interested in, or participating in, cybersecurity, information technology, or associated programs. Additionally, the first video in a series is broad enough to be understood by a general audience.
This video is brought to you by the National Cybersecurity Training & Education Center (NCyTE) through funding from a National Science Foundation Advanced Technological Education Grant (#1902329).
