Abstract

Compact multi-channel airborne radar stations increasingly rely on an LED-based visible light communication (VLC) service link under radio-frequency spectrum restrictions and strict end-to-end delay constraints. Despite the directional nature of optical links, the VLC channel remains vulnerable to active optical interference and signal injection; furthermore, when an AI-enabled integrity monitor is embedded into the receiver, the AI decision layer becomes a direct target of evasion and online poisoning. This paper proposes a lightweight, interpretable AI-based attack detection architecture in which a Poisson photon-counting observation model is used to form physically consistent features over the preamble and…
