A new unmanned aerial vehicle intrusion detection method based on belief rule base with evidential reasoning

Abstract

With the growing security demands in the public, civil and military fields, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) intrusion detection has attracted increasing attention. In view of the shortcomings of the current UAV intrusion detection model using Wi-Fi data traffic in terms of detection accuracy, sample size reduction, and model interpretability, this paper proposes a new detection algorithm for UAV intrusion. This paper presents an interpretable intrusion detection model for UAVs based on the belief rule base (BRB). BRB can effectively use various types of information to establish any nonlinear relationship between the model input and output. It can model and simulate any nonlinear model and optimize the model parameters. However, the rule combination explosion problem is encountered in BRB if there are too many attributes. Therefore, an evidential reasoning (ER) algorithm is proposed for solving this problem. By combining the capabilities of the ER and the BRB methodologies, a new evaluation model, named the EBRB-based model, is proposed here for predicting UAV intrusion detection, even in the case of a massive number of attributes. The global optimization of the model is ensured. A new interpretable and globally optimized UAV intrusion detection model is proposed, which is the main contribution of this paper. An experimental case is used to demonstrate the implementation and application of the proposed UAV intrusion detection method.
