Title: Identify vulnerabilities in PA technologies used in crop production.
Course: Cybersecurity in Food and Agriculture, Advanced (18204-II) > Section: Researching Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities in Livestock and Crop Production

Identification should include describing how PA technologies can be exploited to cause catastrophic damage to crop and production goals. These technologies include

- GPS
- DGPS
- satellites
- continuously operating reference stations (CORS)
- RTK
- overhead imagery (i.e., multispectral imagery from satellites, planes, and UAS)
- VRT/VRA
- ground-based sensor collection.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How could the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with soil and plant material captured as images with sensors mounted on various platforms such as satellites, aircraft, or UAS, be infiltrated, used by a bad actor, and/or exploited?
- How are UAS used to deliver scouting services as part of integrated pest management (IPM)?
- How can sensors, including multispectral, hyperspectral, radar, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and thermal imaging, provide added value in crop scouting?
