Abstract

The major commercial sector has been drawn to the internet of drones (IoD) because of its technological breakthroughs, utility functions, and capacities. It is a tiered network primarily intended for unidentified aerial vehicles operating in restricted airspace. The IoD offers generic services for various drone applications, including package delivery, traffic surveillance, search and rescue, and others. Drones have the potential to be used in a variety of ways to enhance cybersecurity. A mix of software and hardware components must work together for a drone to successfully take off, fly, and land. Ground control stations often control drones and have rotors, sensors, and navigation systems. These devices are typically used in environments where flying would be hazardous for humans. Technology and operational procedures are the intended targets of cyber security.

1. Introduction

Numerous Internet of Things (IoT) applications have produced excellent outcomes in various fields, including agriculture, healthcare, military operations, intelligent transportation, smart cities, smart homes, and many others (Arafat, M.Y., 2019; A. D. Boursianis, 2020). These solutions are slowly but steadily deployed into areas that need more humanistic access, with trustworthy outcomes. UAV can be utilized as an integrated technology in the context of IoT applications to make it easier for such inaccessible areas to communicate (A. Yazdinejad, 2021). With integration, IoT devices can exchange their collected data with distant locations through UAVs, which often serve as intermediaries. Many established and novel IoT applications now use technology that UAVs help (Abualigah, L., 2021). Overview of Market Size 2017-2028 (North America Commercial Drones) is in Figure 1.

An ever-increasing number of businesses are investing in drone technology, assisting in market progress. The primary market for this technology adoption is North America. The advent of drone-based solutions for multiple business applications and a focus by hardware makers on developing cutting-edge and novel devices that will broaden the number of use cases for them are two reasons driving this industry (Arafat, M.Y., 2018; B. Qureshi, 2016). The IoT devices used in UAV-assisted IoT applications gather and share complex information in the network pertinent to their given task. As we all know, this technology is developing. It is anticipated to be used in critical contexts, including military operations, forest fires, agricultural and industrial processes, and intelligent transportation. Overview of Internet Cloud Server is in Figure 2.

A key element of the cloud computing infrastructure that offers virtualized and scalable computing resources via the Internet is the Internet cloud server, more commonly known as a cloud server. The use of cloud servers is essential for providing a range of services and applications without requiring businesses (Balakrishnan, S., 2023). An essential component of cloud computing is the Internet cloud server, which gives consumers access to flexible on-demand computing resources to accommodate the changing demands of contemporary services and applications. Overview of chapter is in Figure 3.
