- Introduces FlyTrap, a physical-world attack framework targeting Autonomous Target Tracking (ATT) systems.
- FlyTrap uses an adversarial umbrella to exploit vulnerabilities in ATT drones, reducing tracking distances dangerously.
- The attack can lead to drone capturing, susceptibility to sensor attacks, or physical collisions.
- Demonstrates effectiveness through real-world experiments on commercial ATT drones like DJI and HoverAir.
- Highlights urgent security risks and implications for the safe deployment of ATT systems.
