Deepwave: Automated Radio Signal and Protocol Classification Through Deep Learning for Waveform Vulnerability Discovery

Abstract

The research objective of this project is to enable a fundamental leap forward in the design, development, evaluation and experimentation of high-throughput wireless networking with guaranteed security in the presence of adversarial attacks. To this end, University at Buffalo (UB) and General Electric Aviation Systems (GEAS) propose to i) design new radio signal sensing and protocol classification techniques for automated discovery of the vulnerabilities of wireless systems; ii) simulate Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) networks in a contested, degraded, and operationally limited (CDO) environment in the UBs Airborne Networking and Communications (UB-ANC) Emulator using Swarm Control for dynamic network management and control of UAS swarms; and iii) integrate in-phase and quadrature (IQ) sample-level fidelity radio frequency (RF) simulation into the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration, and Modeling (AFSIM) to provide a complete common operating picture for swarm operations.
