NFSU Builds Digital Threat Library to Advance Drone Forensics
The National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) is building a special library to help figure out what kind of drones are being used in the world.
Drones are used in many places, sometimes in bad ways.
When a drone crashes or is shot down, it can be hard to figure out where it came from.
The library will have information about different drone parts, so experts can identify them quickly.
They can also look at information from the drone's computers.
This will help solve crimes and keep important places safe.
NFSU is also teaching people how to study drones.
NFSU is creating a 'digital threat library' to identify drone makes used in conflicts.
The library will help identify UAVs from recovered debris, aiding investigations.
It includes data on 35 drone types from the US, China, and Israel.
Experts will use the library for drone forensics, analyzing telemetry data from flight controllers.
Training police, paramilitary, and military officers in drone forensics is underway.
