State-of-the-art comparison of the secudronecomm platform with existing secure drone communication systems

The increasing use of drones in military, surveillance, and disaster response exposes critical shortcomings in communication systems, including secure data transmission, scalability, energy efficiency, and latency. This review explores existing innovations and limitations, while presenting the SecuDroneComm Platform as an advanced solution. The Combat SkySat Tactical Communication System [3] ensures secure transmission but lacks multi-drone coordination, while IoT-DroneCom [2] performs well in hybrid setups but lacks collision avoidance. The AES-based military communication system [15] focuses on encryption but neglects real-time latency issues. SecuDroneComm enhances security and scalability with AES-256 encryption, dynamic key rotation, and latency simulation. Unlike 5G military communication systems [4], which optimize bandwidth but ignore encryption overhead, SecuDroneComm ensures Drone Data Integrity and Encrypted Data Transmission Efficiency in multi-drone operations. The platform also improves environmental monitoring capabilities by integrating collision avoidance algorithms and a hybrid cloud-local routing system. A comparative analysis confirms SecuDroneComm's superiority for military reconnaissance, disaster response, and large-scale surveillance, setting a new benchmark in UAV communication systems.
