Verification & Validation Strategy

Testing Philosophy

The system is validated using a layered SIL/HIL testing strategy:

Virtual sensor testing (UE5)
Middleware timing verification (Simulink)
Embedded inference validation (Jetson)
End-to-end spoof detection performance

Subsystem Tests

Spoofing Module

Baseline real signal transmission
Spoofed signal injection
Mixed real/spoof validation

Neural Network Module

Classification accuracy testing
Overfitting detection
Real-time performance benchmarking

Control System

Flight stability under spoof drift
Failsafe activation testing

Ground Station

Range testing
Data integrity validation

Metrics
