Application of the frequency-hoping for unmanned aerial vehicle protection

Keywords: drone, communication protection, frequency, channel

Abstract

Purpose: Investigation of the possibilities of implementing methods and means of communication channel protection in small-sized and low-power unmanned devices in the context of their active use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Method: comparative analysis and experiment.

Findings: The expediency of applying frequency retuning methods and using the capabilities of basic devices has been qualitatively determined, the potential possibilities for changing frequencies and transmitter powers have been quantitatively investigated.

Theoretical implications: The research was aimed at determining the optimal possibilities for applying communication channel protection methods, taking into account and using the basic means of UAVs.

Practical implications: This work can serve as a basis for further research on improving the protection of the communication channel of basic level unmanned systems, and the results obtained can already be used to increase the resilience of existing UAVs.

Value: The importance of this research and its results lies in the fact that increasing the survivability of UAVs on the battlefield gives an advantage not only technical (directly the saved UAV itself) but also allows potentially saving personnel, due to the presence of a stable and resilient means of reconnaissance?

Paper type: research.
