Abstract
In recent years, drones have become increasingly popular tools in criminal investigations, either as means of committing crimes or as tools to assist in investigations due to their capability to gather evidence and conduct surveillance, which has been effective. However, the increasing use of drones has also brought about new difficulties in the field of digital forensic investigation. This paper aims to contribute to the growing body of research on digital forensic investigations of drone accidents by proposing an innovative approach based on the use of digital twin technology to investigate drone accidents. The simulation is implemented as part of the digital twin solution using Robot Operating System (ROS version 2) and simulated environments such as Gazebo and Rviz, demonstrating the potential of this technology to improve investigation accuracy and efficiency. This research work can contribute to the development of new and innovative investigation techniques.
