Abstract

The rapid advancement of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions has significantly changed the landscape of secure communication systems, especially in scenarios involving unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and real-time data exchange. SecuDroneComm, a hybrid platform created for secure, low-latency communication between drones and command centers, represents an innovative management approach to tackling issues related to data security, latency, and scalability. This paper provides a thorough comparative analysis of SecuDroneComm alongside leading ICT platforms, including ITU-T X.805 frameworks, SmartNet architecture for energy systems, and federated global identity frameworks for mobile and wireless communications. By exploring these systems, we pinpoint essential design principles and innovations that have influenced secure management communication platforms, with a focus on encryption, data integrity, server architecture, and hybrid deployment strategies. The findings highlight the platform's flexibility in managing critical situations like battlefield intelligence, disaster response, and public health monitoring. Additionally, the analysis investigates possible improvements, such as the integration of 5G technologies, blockchain for data validation, and enhanced access control systems. SecuDroneComm’s cutting-edge architecture, which merges security with real-time responsiveness, provides notable benefits compared to both traditional and modern platforms, meeting the changing demands.
