Abstract

Automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) has been widely used due to its low cost and high precision. The deep learning methods for ADS-B signal classification have achieved a high performance. However, recent studies have shown that deep learning networks are very sensitive and vulnerable to small noise. We propose an ADS-B signal poisoning method based on U-Net. This method can generate poisoned signals. We assign one of ADS-B signal classification networks as the attacked network and another one as the protected network. When poisoned signals are fed into these two well-performed classification networks, the poisoned signal will recognized incorrectly by the attacked network while classified correctly by the protected network. We further propose an Attack-Protect-Similar loss to achieve “triple-win” in leading attacked network poor performance, protected network well performance and the poisoned signals similar to unpoisoned signals. Experimental results show attacked network classifies poisoned signals with a 1.55% classification accuracy, while the protected network classifies rate is still maintained at 99.38%.
