The article provides a systematic review of modern approaches that can be used to build a secure, interference-resistant system for transmitting streaming video from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), in particular FPV kamikaze drones, which have become widespread in the military sphere. The problem of simultaneously ensuring cryptographic protection and interference resistance of the communication channel under the active influence of electronic warfare means is analyzed. Known solutions are considered, taking into account the requirements for such systems and the limitations imposed on them – ensuring minimal delay, limitations on computing resources and the sufficiency of ensuring temporary cryptoresistance, as well as the ability to function in interference conditions. The results of the study indicate the absence of an existing universal solution that would satisfy all requirements. The conclusion is made about the need to create new combined approaches to video stream encryption taking into account temporary stability, adaptability to channel conditions and the possibility of hardware implementation on FPGAs or systems on a chip.
