• Abstract: Increased utilization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in critical operations necessitates secure and reliable communication with Ground Control Stations (GCS). This paper introduces Aero-LLM, a framework integrating multiple Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance UAV mission security and operational efficiency. Unlike conventional singular LLMs, Aero-LLM leverages multiple specialized LLMs for various tasks, such as inferencing, anomaly detection, and forecasting, deployed across onboard systems, edge, and cloud servers. This dynamic, distributed architecture reduces performance bottleneck and increases security capabilities. Aero-LLM's evaluation demonstrates outstanding task-specific metrics and robust defense against cyber threats, significantly enhancing UAV decision-making and operational capabilities and security resilience against cyber attacks, setting a new standard for secure, intelligent UAV operations.

  The low-altitude economy (LAE), driven by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other aircraft, has revolutionized fields such as transportation, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. In the upcoming six-generation (6G) era, UAV-assisted mobile edge computing (MEC) is particularly crucial in challenging environments such as mountainous or disaster-stricken areas. The task offloading problem is one of the key issues in UAV-assisted MEC, primarily addressing the trade-off between minimizing the task delay and the energy consumption of the UAV.
