Abstract
The integration of commercial drones into contemporary warfare presents a grave threat of mass civilian attacks, These drones, constructed from off-the-shelf and 3D-printed components, offer threat actors a readily available platform for malicious and grave intent. The incorporation of open-source UAV navigation software and AI systems enhances their autonomy, enabling them to operate independently and evade traditional countermeasures such as jamming. Moreover, the versatility of drone designs, ranging from fixed-wing to quadcopters, provides a multitude of attack vectors, including aerial bombings, and mass, and targeted assassinations. Urgent action is needed to address these emerging threats, emphasizing the need for robust regulatory frameworks and technological solutions to safeguard against potential attacks. This paper underscores the critical importance of proactive measures to mitigate the risk of mass civilian casualty attacks perpetrated by commercial drones in modern warfare.
