Abstract

This repository contains the source code, tools, and results from a research project investigating software vulnerabilities in the PX4 autopilot system, a widely used platform for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The study employs bounded model checking using the ESBMC tool and fuzzing techniques to assess the security and reliability of critical system components, including failsafe mechanisms and communication protocols.

Keywords:
Autopilot Fuzz testing Software Reliability (semiconductor) Drone Software security assurance Software quality Key (lock)
