Protects UAV communications from jamming by fusing spectrum measurements, RF fingerprinting and terrain data to reroute flights in real time.
TEMPEST enhances the security and reliability of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) communications in high-priority missions by mitigating potential electronic signaling threats. UAVs are vulnerable to malicious jamming attacks that can disrupt their wireless links, compromising mission performance and safety.
TEMPEST developed a software suite that integrates machine learning, signal processing, and trajectory optimisation to detect, locate, and avoid jamming sources in real-time. The system fuses radio spectrum measurements, RF fingerprinting, and environmental topology to allow UAVs to adapt their flight paths dynamically while maintaining mission objectives.
The key objectives for Tempest are:
1.Detecting and classifying jamming signals
2.Locating jamming sources and estimating the position of jammers accurately.
3.Optimising UAV flight paths and generating radio maps of jamming zones.
