Forensic analysis of a drone losing control – Investigating a sudden loss of control
A sudden loss of control of a drone can have various causes, ranging from signal interference and technical faults to deliberate external interference, such as jamming.
The aim of the forensic analysis is to systematically distinguish between these possible causes on the basis of available flight and sensor data, as well as connection logs.
Why LanCologne?
Since its foundation, LanCologne has specialised in professional IT forensics. Our staff have decades of experience in the field of information technology and assist companies, solicitors, private individuals and, on a regular basis, the courts in the technical investigation of complex digital matters.
The examination is, as a matter of principle, carried out exclusively on a forensic copy, a forensic image or a data source captured in a technically equivalent manner that preserves the integrity of the evidence. The original evidence remains unchanged and is stored in a manner that preserves its integrity.
Our services
We analyse available flight, sensor and connectivity data in order to systematically narrow down the cause of a loss of control and document it in a manner that is verifiable through forensic analysis.
Typical areas of application
This is how a loss-of-control analysis is carried out
Once the data has been backed up, connection logs, sensor data and control commands from the period immediately prior to the loss of control are systematically analysed. Any unusual signal interruptions or technical error messages are examined separately and linked to their possible causes.
Why is the loss-of-control analysis relevant in a forensic context?
The distinction between a technical cause and an external, potentially deliberate, influence can be decisive for the legal assessment of an incident.
If targeted interference is suspected, the information obtained may also be relevant to criminal investigations.
