Approach

Key parameters

Limitations/Strengths

15

DeepPOSE (CNN + RNN) for trajectory correction

Sensor data (accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS)

High computational cost, real-time performance not tested

16

PERDET (ML-based UAV spoofing detection)

Perception data (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, GPS, barometer)

Limited dataset size, generalization not fully validated

17

Dynamic classifier selection for GPS spoofing

10 ML classifiers, feature selection

Increased processing time due to dynamic selection

18

1D CNN-based anti-spoofing model

GPS signal characteristics

Limited comparison with traditional ML models

19

MLP-based GPS spoofing detection

Statistical features from base station path loss

Accuracy drops significantly with fewer base stations

20

Deep learning-based ATC spoofing detection

ADS-B signals, zero-bias DNN

Requires continuous learning for adaptation

21

ML-based cross-technology spoofing detection

Physical-layer details of ZigBee

Limited to specific cross-technology attacks

2

MLP-based UAV GPS spoofing detection

Flight data and GPS signals

Accuracy varies across datasets (TEXBAT: 83.23%, MAVLINK: 99.93%)

22

LTME: Cryptography + Trust Management for UAVs

Secure message encryption and authentication

Focuses on message security rather than spoofing detection

23

Reinforcement learning-based clustering for UAVs

Clustering strategy, network topology

Not specifically designed for GPS spoofing detection
