In this paper, a radar sensor is proposed for the automated detection and classification of micro unmanned aerial systems (UASs), using Doppler signatures and their spectral correlation functions (SCFs). Our proposed system effectively detects and identifies UASs (within the radar beam width) by employing a Deep Belief Network (DBN) to classify the SCF signature patterns. The proposed system is experimentally...
Disruption/Delay tolerant networking (DTN) is a promising solution to mitigate the effects of periodic link outages that last seconds to minutes, which are prevalent in high capacity airborne tactical networks that are directional in nature and highly affected by aircraft body blockage. There are several considerations for applying the DTN Bundle Protocol (RFC 5050) in tactical edge networks which...
Joint Aerial Layered Network (JALN) could provide crucial communication links when milsatcoms are degraded or lost. A configuration problem arising is that how we can assign the antennas to JALN High Capacity Backbone (HCB) links to maximize the link availability where each JALN aircraft has four mounting points for directional antennas? The antenna assignment problem was first formulated as a Mixed...
This paper presents a force-level planning approach to optimally select and design the orbit of an airborne relay. The objective is to maximize the aggregate performance of communication subscribers served by the airborne relay. The performance is measured as either the duty cycle in terms of signal-to-noise-ratio or the throughput achieved by communication subscribers. Both measures are computed...
We posit that commercial Wi-Fi-based unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are vulnerable to common and basic security attacks, capable by beginner to intermediate hackers. We do this by demonstrating that the standard ARDiscovery Connection process and the Wi-Fi access point used in the Parrot Bebop UAV are exploitable such that the UAV's ability to fly can be disrupted mid-flight by a remote attacker....
