Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Deceptive Jamming Detection Method Based on Track Data

Abstract

The characteristics of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) technology, such as unencrypted channels and open data protocols, make it extremely vulnerable to various intentional or unintentional spoofing and jamming, which seriously threatens air traffic safety. Traditional approaches do not update their high-bit data for a long time, which causes the situations of the same encoding results to have different aircraft positions and it is difficult to determine the real position of the aircraft and effectively detect ADS-B jamming. Therefore, it is urgent to propose more effective detection methods for ADS-B spoofing and jamming. First, the methods and principles of frequency shift calculation and automatic monitoring algorithm are introduced. Then, signal consistency detection and error robustness are analyzed, and a track-data-based detection model for abnormal ADS-B data are proposed. The track-data-based detection methods can use multi-point sampling judgment algorithm to realize the reception and processing of data bits. This method makes full use of the information of multiple sampling values of each data bit and the reference power value obtained in the preamble detection, and determines the data value and confidence value through the relationship between the two. The detection methods for ADS-B spoofing and jamming distinguishes the true and false signals and the authenticity of target positions by comparing the arrival time difference of each signal at the ground station. Finally, the research results show that, with the increase of signal to noise ratio, no matter the estimation based on virtual array translation or the estimation based on circular stationary signal, their estimation accuracies are improved with gradually increasing trends.
