description This paper proposes a non-cooperative unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) signal detection strategy based on a multichannel control signal with an energy detector (ED), wherein the sampling point of the control signal on each subchannel is adjusted with environmental signal-to-noise (SNR) in a semi-adaptive manner. In order to estimate the SNR in the environment, not only is a convolutional neural network (CNN) applied in the proposed signal detection strategy, but a long shor-term memory network (LSTM) network is also included; in terms of features, it combines deep features and time-dimension features. The numbers of layers of the CNN and LSTM impact the performance of the algorithm. The decision on the presence or absence of a control signal is made at the fusion center (FC) based on the majority voting rule. This paper shows that the network with a two-layer CNN and a two-layer LSTM can achieve high estimation accuracy of environmental SNR. Simultaneously, the detection accuracy is improved by about 1 dB compared with the classical multichannel detection schemes.
