Best Student Paper, 2nd Place ; The article of record as published may be found at https://doi.org/10.1109/SYSCON.2019.8836824 ; 2019 IEEE International Systems Communications Conference (SYSCON) ; The Robot Operating System (ROS) is a widely adopted standard robotic middleware. However, its preliminary design is devoid of any network security features. Military grade unmanned systems must be guarded against network threats. ROS 2 is built upon the Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard and is designed to provide solutions to identified ROS 1 security vulnerabilities by incorporating authentication, encryption, and process profile features, which rely on public key infrastructure. The Department of Defense is looking to use ROS 2 for its military-centric robotics platform. This paper seeks to demonstrate that ROS 2 and its DDS security architecture can serve as a functional platform for use in military grade unmanned systems, particularly in unmanned Naval aerial swarms. In this paper, we focus on the viability of ROS 2 to safeguard communications between swarms and a ground control station (GCS). We test ROS 2's ability to mitigate and withstand certain cyber threats, specifically that of rogue nodes injecting unauthorized data and accessing services that will disable parts of the UAV swarm. We use the Gazebo robotics simulator to target individual UAVs to ascertain the effectiveness of our attack vectors under specific conditions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of ROS 2 in mitigating the chosen attack vectors but observed a measurable operational delay within our simulations. ; This work was funded and sponsored by the Office of Naval Research via the Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education and Research (CRUSER) at NPS.

It is of great theoretical and methodological importance to determine the correlation between global security and sustainable development, the combination of national and universal interests. In this case, the analysis of the content of global security and sustainable development in terms of the categories of individuality, specificity, generality, dividing them into spheres of influence: local, national, regional, global or international, serves to determine their development trends. This article analyzes the issues of combining national and universal interests in ensuring global security and sustainable development at a new stage of development of Uzbekistan.
