Applying Deep Learning to Anomaly Detection of Russian Satellite Activity for Indications Prior to Military Activity
- 为每个卫星单独训练模型,基于轨道六要素检测异常。
- 六个月内发现显著异常,部分轨道参数变化超3个标准差。
- 强调结果可解释性,适合军事态势感知与安全研究者。
本研究利用深度学习技术分析俄罗斯在乌克兰战争爆发前的在轨卫星活动,评估其是否可作为军事冲突的预警信号。基于公开的两行元素(TLE)数据,对五年期历史数据建立基线,聚焦2022年2月24日前六个月的活动。采用孤立森林(IF)、传统自编码器(AE)、变分自编码器(VAE)、Kolmogorov Arnold网络(KAN)及新型锚损失自编码器(Anchor AE)等方法,通过重建误差超过阈值σ识别异常。每个卫星独立建模,逐项分析六个轨道要素的异常,提升可解释性。结果显示俄罗斯在轨卫星活动存在统计显著异常,多个轨道要素出现超过3σ的偏离,揭示潜在战术调整迹象。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We apply deep learning techniques for anomaly detection to analyze activity of Russian-owned resident space objects (RSO) prior to the Ukraine invasion and assess the results for any findings that can be used as indications and warnings (I&W) of aggressive military behavior for future conflicts. Through analysis of anomalous activity, an understanding of possible tactics and procedures can be established to assess the existence of statistically significant changes in Russian RSO pattern of life/pattern of behavior (PoL/PoB) using publicly available two-line element (TLE) data. This research looks at statistical and deep learning approaches to assess anomalous activity. The deep learning methods assessed are isolation forest (IF), traditional autoencoder (AE), variational autoencoder (VAE), Kolmogorov Arnold Network (KAN), and a novel anchor-loss based autoencoder (Anchor AE). Each model is used to establish a baseline of on-orbit activity based on a five-year data sample. The primary investigation period focuses on the six months leading up to the invasion date of February 24, 2022. Additional analysis looks at RSO activity during an active combat period by sampling TLE data after the invasion date. The deep learning autoencoder models identify anomalies based on reconstruction errors that surpass a threshold sigma. To capture the nuance and unique characteristics of each RSO an individual model was trained for each observed space object. The research made an effort to prioritize explainability and interpretability of the model results thus each observation was assessed for anomalous behavior of the individual six orbital elements versus analyzing the input data as a single monolithic observation. The results demonstrate not only statistically significant anomalies of Russian RSO activity but also details anomalous findings to the individual orbital element.
