Abstract
The security and privacy risks posed by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become a significant cause of concern in today’s society. Due to technological advancement, these devices are becoming progressively inexpensive, which makes them convenient for many different applications. The massive number of UAVs is making it difficult to manage and monitor them in restricted areas. In addition, other signals using the same frequency range make it more challenging to identify UAV signals. In these circumstances, an intelligent system to detect and identify UAVs is a necessity. Most of the previous studies on UAV identification relied on various feature-extraction techniques, which are computationally expensive. Therefore, this article proposes an end-to-end deep-learning-based model to detect and identify UAVs based on their radio frequency (RF) signature. Unlike existing studies, multiscale feature-extraction techniques without manual intervention are utilized to extract enriched features that assist the model in achieving good generalization capability of the signal and making decisions with lower computational time. Additionally, residual blocks are utilized to learn complex representations, as well as to overcome vanishing gradient problems during training. The detection and identification tasks are performed in the presence of Bluetooth and WIFI signals, which are two signals from the same frequency band. For the identification task, the model is evaluated for specific devices, as well as for the signature of the particular manufacturers. The performance of the model is evaluated across various different signal-to-noise ratios (SNR). Furthermore, the findings are compared to the results of previous work. The proposed model yields an overall accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1-score of 97.53%, 98.06%, 98.00%, and 98.00%, respectively, for RF signal detection from 0 dB to 30 dB SNR in the CardRF dataset. The proposed model demonstrates an inference time of 0.37 ms (milliseconds) for RF signal detection, which is a substantial improvement over existing work. Therefore, the proposed end-to-end deep-learning-based method outperforms the existing work in terms of performance and time complexity. Based on the outcomes illustrated in the paper, the proposed model can be used in surveillance systems for real-time UAV detection and identification.
