The paper presents a robust multi‑agent reinforcement learning framework for small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) to maintain separation assurance when GPS data is degraded or spoofed. By modeling state observation corruption as a zero‑sum game, the authors derive a closed‑form adversarial perturbation that eliminates iterative inner optimization and can be evaluated in linear time. Integrating this perturbation into a policy‑gradient MARL algorithm yields a counter‑policy that achieves near‑zero collision rates in high‑density simulations even with up to 35% observation corruption, outperforming non‑adversarial baselines.

Federated learning (FL) enables aircraft fleet operators to jointly train remaining-useful-life (RUL) models from engine sensor telemetry without sharing raw data. This study examines two complementary challenges: benign heterogeneity, where honest operators observe different operating conditions and fault modes, and adversarial heterogeneity, where compromised operators submit poisoned updates.

The paper reviews the state of robustness in Federated Learning (FL), highlighting its vulnerability to performance degradation, data theft, and aggregation attacks. It presents a comprehensive framework that includes a threat-centric view of attack surfaces, a taxonomy of robust aggregation methods (distinguishing outcome‑centric from security‑centric approaches), and a layered taxonomy of defensive strategies. The authors also scrutinize current evaluation practices and outline key applications and open research challenges to steer future work.

The paper introduces the Temperature Scaling Attack (TSA), a training‑time method that degrades model confidence calibration while keeping predictive accuracy largely intact. TSA injects temperature scaling with a learning‑rate coupling during local federated training, shifting confidence scores and causing significant calibration errors (e.g., a 145% increase on CIFAR‑100) with less than a 2% drop in accuracy. The authors provide a convergence analysis for non‑IID settings and demonstrate TSA’s effectiveness across three benchmarks, robust aggregation, and post‑hoc calibration defenses, highlighting its impact on mission‑critical systems such as healthcare verification and autonomous driving.
