It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0058] Inside the adaptive anti-jamming module, there are: a jamming detector module, a jamming feature analyzer module, and an adaptive filter module;

[0059] The output port of the signal encryption module and the RF input port of the signal receiving module establish a physical layer connection through a wireless channel, and the encrypted data stream enters the RF front end through the antenna;

[0060] The baseband output port of the signal receiving module is directly connected to the input buffer of the signal decryption module through a digital interface to transmit the down-converted encrypted baseband signal;

[0061] The output verification port of the signal decryption module is connected to the input queue of the data processing module through a security bus to transfer the decrypted original navigation message;

[0062] The attitude data output port of the data processing module is connected to the instruction input port of the navigation control module through a high-speed serial interface to convey the resolved three-dimensional coordinates and velocity vector;

[0063] The detection probe of the adaptive anti-jamming module is embedded in the intermediate frequency processing link of the signal receiving module, and its parameter control port is connected to the gain adjustment node of the RF front end and the filter coefficient loading interface of the baseband processing unit through a parallel bus to form a feedforward-feedback composite control loop.

[0064] The signal encryption module realizes the dynamic generation and secure distribution of multi-level keys through a key manager to ensure that the encryption system has forward security. The key manager adopts a key exchange protocol based on elliptic curve cryptography, automatically updates the session key every 30 seconds, and cooperates with the encryption processor to complete the real-time data stream encryption. Taking the SM4 national cryptographic algorithm as an example, the processor uses the CTR mode of block cipher under the support of hardware acceleration, divides the navigation data stream into 128-bit blocks for parallel encryption, and at the same time retains the timestamp field as the initial vector, which not only ensures the encryption efficiency but also prevents replay attacks. The key manager is deeply integrated with the encryption algorithm library and supports the emergency switching of encryption standards during wartime. When a quantum computing threat is detected, it can seamlessly transition to a quantum-resistant encryption algorithm.

[0065] The signal receiving module adopts a software-defined radio architecture and realizes full-coverage reception in the 1.2 - 1.6 GHz frequency band through a tunable bandpass filter bank. In a strong electromagnetic interference environment, the low-noise amplifier uses temperature compensation technology and cooperates with a digital control attenuator to construct a dynamic gain control system to ensure that the signal amplitude is stable in the optimal ADC quantization range. The baseband processing unit uses a polyphase filter bank for channelization processing, decomposes the broadband signal into 8 parallel 200 MHz sub-channels, and uses the parallel computing ability of the FPGA to complete 64th-order FIR filtering and digital down-conversion in real time. A specially designed image rejection algorithm can eliminate the false signals caused by local oscillator leakage, making the receiving sensitivity reach the order of -135 dBm.

[0066] The signal decryption module adopts a heterogeneous computing architecture. The dedicated cryptographic chip processes the decryption of the underlying data stream, and the general-purpose processor executes the decryption of the protocol layer. For the AES-GCM encrypted data stream, while the hardware decryption engine processes 128-bit ciphertext blocks at wire speed, it synchronously generates an authentication tag for data integrity verification. The key manager implements a two-factor authentication mechanism, which fuses the preset long-term key and the temporarily obtained key in real time through the hash chain algorithm to generate a working key, which not only meets the requirements of rapid deployment during wartime but also can prevent the risk of key leakage. The decryption process embeds an abnormal traffic monitoring function, and automatically triggers the key rotation process for consecutive data packets with decryption failures.

[0067] The data processing module adopts an improved PBCH de-encapsulation technology to separate three types of data streams, namely positioning, timing, and integrity, from the decrypted navigation message. The coordinate converter builds a quaternion Kalman filter, fuses the conversion parameters of the Beidou coordinate system, WGS-84 coordinate system, and local grid coordinate system, and compensates for the coordinate offset caused by crustal plate movement in real time. The speed calculator introduces a Doppler frequency shift compensation algorithm, smooths the pseudorange observations through carrier phase, and resolves the three-dimensional velocity vector within a 10 ms cycle. A specially designed multipath rejection processing unit uses the time-domain correlation analysis of the direct signal and the reflected signal to improve the positioning accuracy from the meter level to the sub-meter level.

[0068] The flight controller adopts a model predictive control framework to construct a three-dimensional trajectory tracking system. For the non-linear dynamic characteristics of the unmanned aerial vehicle in a complex airflow environment, a rolling optimization strategy based on Lyapunov stability is designed. During the path correction process, the controller resolves the lateral and longitudinal deviations between the actual flight path and the planned flight path in real time, linearizes the attitude dynamics equation through the Jacobian matrix, and generates a composite control instruction including thrust distribution and rudder deflection. A specially developed wind disturbance observer fuses the barometer and inertial navigation data to establish a turbulence intensity estimation model, and injects the wind field disturbance within the prediction time domain into the control law as a feedforward compensation amount, enabling the unmanned aerial vehicle to maintain centimeter-level trajectory tracking accuracy under the condition of a six-level crosswind;

[0069] The attitude resolver constructs a deep coupling resolution architecture for the nine-axis MEMS sensor based on an improved extended Kalman filter. Aiming at the integral drift problem of the gyroscope caused by high-speed maneuvers, a gradient descent method with motion acceleration compensation is designed to convert the accelerometer data into a quaternion correction amount. When it is detected that the magnetometer is interfered by the body current, it automatically switches to the pure inertial resolution mode and constructs a virtual heading reference system using angular velocity differentiation. The vibration suppression unit embedded in the resolver identifies the propeller resonance frequency through frequency domain analysis and uses an adaptive notch filter to eliminate vibration noise of 50 - 200 Hz, enabling the pitch angle resolution accuracy to still reach the 0.1-degree level under a 10g acceleration shock.

[0070] The brushless motor drive unit of the actuator module adopts space vector pulse width modulation technology and cooperates with a full carbon fiber reduction gearbox to achieve millisecond-level torque response. Aiming at the sudden change characteristics of the aerodynamic load of the control surface, a three-closed-loop control structure with feedforward compensation is developed, and a non-linear friction identification algorithm based on Lissajous figures is embedded in the position loop. The electronic speed control module integrates a temperature-current coupling model and dynamically adjusts the switching frequency by real-time monitoring of the MOSFET junction temperature to maintain the linearity of the thrust output in the environmental range of -40°C to 85°C. A specially designed anti-saturation integrator can prevent the actuator stroke from exceeding the limit and ensure that the drone does not experience servo jamming at a control command update frequency of 20 times per second.

[0071] The interference detector module fuses cyclic spectrum analysis and wavelet transform to construct a time-frequency joint detection model. By calculating the spectral correlation density function and multi-scale wavelet coefficient energy distribution of the received signal in real time, an interference discrimination mechanism based on multiple hypothesis testing is established. In the time domain dimension, an energy detector with a dynamic threshold is designed, and the sliding window variance analysis technology is used to identify abnormal power fluctuations; in the frequency domain dimension, an improved cyclic stationary feature extraction algorithm is adopted, and the typical interference signal characteristics are matched by constructing a cyclic frequency spectrum line cluster.

[0080] The formula extracts the continuous distribution information of cyclostationary characteristics through integral operation, and at the same time uses matrix trace operation to capture the energy mutation in the wavelet domain. The two-dimensional features are non-linearly weighted and fused to form a sensitive and robust detection statistic, which will improve the interference recognition rate compared with traditional single-dimensional detection methods.

[0081] The interference feature analyzer module adopts a hybrid analysis method combining time-frequency ridge tracking and high-order tensor decomposition, and fine-grained models the interference signal by constructing a multi-dimensional feature space.

[0087] β is an adaptive balance factor, dynamically adjusted according to the interference signal bandwidth, satisfying the intelligent adaptation of taking 0.3 for narrowband interference and 1.5 for broadband interference;

[0088] The formula fuses the gradient constraint and variational regularization mechanism, and can still accurately reconstruct the fast frequency hopping pattern with the frequency mutation point interval less than 5 μs under strong noise background. The ridge line positioning error is reduced by 62% compared with the traditional dynamic programming method, providing high-precision feature input for subsequent interference type recognition.

[0089] The adaptive filter module constructs a hybrid processing mechanism of frequency-domain subspace projection and time-domain recursive filtering, and realizes precise spectrum shaping by establishing a dynamic mapping relationship between interference characteristics and filter parameters. For comb-shaped spectrum interference, a frequency-domain stopband generation algorithm based on constrained convex optimization is designed, and an improved lattice filter structure is used to form a notch response with a depth of up to 60 dB at specified frequencies. For wideband noise interference, a normalized least mean square algorithm with a time-varying step size is developed, and the spectral feature prior information provided by the interference feature analyzer is combined to dynamically adjust the convergence factor and filter order. A space-time joint processing scheme is particularly proposed, which performs Kronecker product fusion on the spatial steering vector of the array signal and the time-domain weight matrix of adaptive filtering to form a multi-dimensional filtering space;

[0090] The calculation formula of the hybrid optimization objective function is as follows:
