🤖 AI Summary
To address single-point failures, high communication overhead, privacy leakage, and insufficient support for heterogeneity in centralized intrusion detection systems (IDS) for Flying Ad-hoc Networks (FANETs), this paper proposes a lightweight, federated learning–driven distributed IDS tailored for UAV networks. Our approach tightly integrates federated learning with an edge-optimized LSTM-based anomaly detection model, augmented by UAV-specific traffic feature extraction, differential privacy mechanisms, and an edge computing architecture—ensuring raw data remains localized during collaborative model training. Evaluated on a real-world UAV network dataset, the system achieves 98.3% attack detection accuracy, reduces communication overhead by 42%, and maintains end-to-end latency below 120 ms. The framework thus delivers high detection precision, strong privacy preservation, and real-time responsiveness—advancing practical, scalable, and secure intrusion detection in resource-constrained FANET environments.
