Smart Drone Neutralization: AI Driven RF Jamming and Modulation Detection with Software Defined Radio
The increasing use of wireless technologies in many aspects of people’s lives has led to a congested electromagnetic spectrum, making it critical to manage the limited available spectrum as efficiently as possible. This is particularly important for military activities such as electronic warfare, where jamming is used to disrupt enemy communication, self-attacking drones, and surveillance drones. However, current detection methods used by armed personnel, such as optical sensors and Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR), do not include Radio Frequency (RF) analysis, which is crucial for identifying the signals used to operate drones. To combat security vulnerabilities posed by the rogue or unidentified transmitters, RF transmitters should be detected not only by the available data content of broadcasts but also by the physical properties of the transmitters. This requires faster fingerprinting and identifying procedures that extend beyond the traditional hand-engineered methods. In this paper, RF data from the drones’ remote controller is identified and collected using Software Defined Radio (SDR), a radio that employs software to perform signal-processing tasks that were previously accomplished by hardware. A deep learning model is then provided to train and detect modulation strategies utilized in drone communication and a suitable jamming strategy. This paper overviews Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) neutralization, communication signals, and Deep Learning (DL) applications. It introduces an intelligent system for modulation detection and drone jamming using Software Defined Radio (SDR). DL approaches in these areas, alongside advancements in UAV neutralization techniques, present promising research opportunities. The primary objective is to integrate recent research themes in UAV neutralization, communication signals, and Machine Learning (ML) and DL applications, delivering a more efficient and effective solution for identifying and neutralizing drones. The proposed intelligent system for modulation detection and jamming of drones based on SDR, along with deep learning approaches, holds great potential for future research in this field.

African Nations Turn to AI, Drones to Secure Borders - Africa Defense Forum
South Africa has joined Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan and Tunisia in deploying advanced technology, such as artificial intelligence and drones, to enhance border security. South Africa’s technology upgrade includes four quadcopter drones to monitor locations known for illegal crossings. The drones can operate around the clock and use infrared cameras to track people crossing at night.
