Secure and reliable communications are vital to defense forces in achieving operational goals. Likewise, limiting the opponents’ capabilities to communicate further advances the host forces’ chances of operational success. In this work, we propose a method to fortify the host forces’ wireless communications against adversarial attacks while at the same time restricting the opponents’ capabilities…

The need for standardized guidelines and common evaluation techniques for assessing camouflage nets represents a challenge for the military operational community. This paper proposes a laboratory assessment methodology for the evaluation of camouflage nets. This method aims to be an accurate initial assessment before field tests, as the final stages for camouflage evaluation. Furthermore, it…

Neutralizing a drone using a protocol-aware RF jammer requires precise knowledge of the occupied spectrum in the time and frequency domains. This paper aims to develop an automatic spectrum prediction framework utilizing the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) models. We generate a synthetic dataset using the commonly used drone signal…

The electromagnetic spectrum’s scarcity, the tactical edge’s dynamic nature, and the variety of tactical operations impose challenges to military cognitive radio networks. Multi-radio dynamic spectrum management (DSM) and routing promise to increase the spectral efficiency and robustness of tactical ad hoc networks by adding key control plane tools that adapt the network to the varying…

In this article, we study the advantages and disadvantages that full-duplex (FD) radio technology brings to remote-controlled drone and counter-drone systems in comparison to classical half-duplex (HD) radio technology. We consider especially the physical-layer reliability perspective that has not yet been comprehensively studied. For establishing a solid analytical background, we first derive original closed-form expressions…
