Satellite-assisted Unmanned Device Networks (SUNets) integrate satellite communication, unmanned devices, ground support facilities, and cloud computing to achieve wide-area connectivity in agricultural production. However, the security issues introduced by the wide-area coverage and complex multi-layered communication structure of SUNets have not been thoroughly researched in the agricultural field. The future "cloud-network-end" agricultural architecture based on SUNets is systematically reviewed, and the specific application cases of future agriculture under the wide-area coverage of SUNets are explored, focusing on cross-regional agricultural machinery scheduling and field management. Additionally, the collaborative security and the security issues caused the data transparency, transmission path complexity, and the dynamic nature of the network environment within the SUNets architecture are summarized. The paper aims at investigating the architectures, applications, and security challenges of future agricultural SUNets, providing a reference for future research to fill the gaps in SUNets about agriculture.
