    7 The goal of this project is to analyze the WiFi network on which a drone communicates with its controller.  By doing this we hope to be able to replicate commands and send them from an outside source to "talk" to the drone and have it perform the commands from the outside source instead of the original controller.
     7The goal of this project is to sniff and analyze packets on a drone WiFi connection.  By doing this we hope to be able to replicate commands and send them from an outside source to "talk" to the drone. This will allow for a remote override of the drone should it enter a no-fly zone or pose a security risk.

    11 Previously, remote controlled planes and other flying objects communicated at low frequencies.  However, modern drones communicate with their controllers in the high frequency range, using long range wifi as a result.  These communications are much more secure and are much safer as a result.  However, the result is that the main way drones are taken down is through signal jamming, causing either a forced landing or complete loss of control of the drone, creating an uncontrolled descent.
     11Previously, remote controlled products were sent commands via VHF radio waves.  Now, modern drones now use long-range WiFi provided by the controller, resulting in more secure communication. However, the current method to take down drones is through signal jamming, causing either a forced landing or complete loss of control of the drone. These uncontrolled descents pose a safety concern.
