  The secure command and control (C&C) of mobile agents arises in various
settings including unmanned aerial vehicles, single pilot operations in
commercial settings, and mobile robots to name a few. As more and more of these
applications get integrated into aerospace and defense use cases, the security
of the communication channel between the ground station and the mobile agent is
of increasing importance. The development of quantum computing devices poses a
unique threat to secure communications due to the vulnerability of asymmetric
ciphers to Shor's algorithm. Given the active development of new quantum
resistant encryption techniques, we report the first integration of
post-quantum secure encryption schemes with the robot operating system (ROS)
and C&C of mobile agents, in general. We integrate these schemes in the
application and network layers, and study the performance of these methods by
comparing them to present day security schemes such as the widely used RSA
algorithm.
