An electronic device may include a processor and a network interface that may include a first radio and a second radio. The processor may be configured to perform wireless communication jamming attack detection by occasionally performing clear channel verification utilizing the network interface to determine whether a threshold number of devices' channels are incapacitated in a wireless network within a threshold amount of time and/or by sending a heartbeat signal from the first radio and determining whether the second radio received the heartbeat signal.

A system and method for conducting electronic warfare on a target site includes the use of a small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) having a fuselage and a Prandtl wing, wherein at least two electric ducted fans are positioned on the fuselage. A power system of the SUAS has a plurality of hydrogen fuel cells positioned within the Prandtl wing. An electronic warfare payload is carried by the fuselage, wherein the electronic warfare payload and the at least two electric ducted fans are powered by at least a portion of the plurality of hydrogen fuel cells. During an operation, the SUAS may launch near an IAD site and initiate an electronic warfare effect on an integrated air defense site with electronic warfare payload carried by the SUAS to interfere with at least one surface-to-air missile (SAM) system.

A system and method for mitigating interference of a radio frequency (RF) signal includes a receiver configured to include: a decomposition module that decomposes a received RF signal into sub-bands via a multi-stage filter, each sub-band being configured to operate on real and imaginary components of the RF signal, and each stage being scaled for separating time-frequency content of the desired signal from time-frequency content of the interference; a mitigation module that suppresses the interference of the RF signal in each sub-band by zeroing an output of a respective sub-band when the frequency content exceeds a predetermined threshold; and a reconstruction module that reconstructs the RF signal from the mitigation module minus the interference. The receiver is configured to determine whether the multi-stage filter is to be reinitialized with updated time and frequency resolution requirements to improve system response.

The method of the invention is related to utilizing the convergence patterns of sparse coding for detecting a primary user emulation/signal jamming attack in a cognitive radio setting. The method basically comprises a training stage and a testing stage. Through the method, the hypothesis which shows that there is no primary user but only noise (H.sub.0), the hypothesis which shows that there is a legitimate primary user present with a right to use the spectrum and the secondary user should not use the spectrum (H.sub.1), and the hypothesis which shows that there is a primary user emulator/signal jammer in the environment (H.sub.2) can be distinguished.

Aspects described herein relate to identifying an aggressor node that transmits interfering signals that cause interference to signals received at the node, communicating a configuration for applying a phase shift to the interfering signals for forwarding to the node from a reflecting node with the phase shift applied, and communicating, from the reflecting node, the interfering signals with the phase shift applied to at least partially cancel the interference to the signals received at the node.
