Banshee: Target Switch Attacks on Gimbal-Stabilized Visual Tracking Systems via Acoustic Injection
Acoustic injection can force gimbal-stabilised UAV trackers to switch targets, demonstrating a physical-layer attack on autonomous systems that enterprises operating drone fleets should threat-model.

arXiv:2607.09930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Gimbal-stabilized visual tracking is critical for modern autonomous systems such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). While prior work shows acoustic signals can disturb gimbal internals, the impact of such attacks on real-world applications like UAV tracking and following remains underexplored. Existing demonstrations largely overlook practical challenges for real-world attacks, such as object-motion uncertainty and runtime latency. To bridge th
Editorial Analysis
Enterprises deploying drone-based surveillance or inspection must consider acoustic sensor manipulation as a credible physical-layer threat.
Include acoustic-injection scenarios in the security assessment of any UAV or gimbal-based tracking deployment.
