Abstract:
The increasing adoption of Unmanned Aerial Ve-hicles (UAV s) in various critical applications necessitates robust security measures to protect these systems from cyber threats. In response, this research introduces an innovative Intrusion Detection System (IDS) specifically tailored for UAV s. The proposed IDS leverages Hierarchical Attention-based Long Short-Term Memory (H-LSTM) networks to effectively model the intricate temporal dependencies in UAV data. This architecture allows for comprehensive surveillance of UAV behavior, capturing both short-term anomalies and long-term deviations from expected patterns. The hierarchical attention mechanism enables the system to focus on salient features within the data, enhancing detection accuracy and robustness. To address the critical need for interpretable AI in cybersecurity, we incorporate Shapley Ad-ditive Explanations (SHAP) into our IDS. SHAP values provide a coherent and intuitive explanation of the IDS's decisions by emphasizing the specific features and their contributions to the intrusion detection process. The performance of the proposed system is rigorously evaluated using the N-BaIoT dataset. Our experiments demonstrate that the H-LSTM-based IDS outper-forms traditional methods, achieving a higher detection rate while minimizing false positives. Moreover, the incorporation of SHAP explanations facilitates rapid incident analysis, allowing security professionals to discern between genuine threats and benign anomalies effectively.
