In recent years, with the rapid development of intelligent communication technologies, anti-jamming techniques based on deep learning have been widely adopted in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems, yielding significant improvements. Most existing studies primarily focus on intelligent anti-jamming decision-making for single UAVs. However, in UAV swarm systems, single-agent decision models often suffer from data isolation and inconsistent frequency usage decisions among nodes within the same task subnet, caused by asynchronous model updates. Although data sharing among UAVs can partially alleviate model update issues, it introduces significant communication overhead and data security challenges. To address these problems, this paper proposes a novel multi-UAV cooperative intelligent anti-jamming decision-making method, termed Federated Learning-Hierarchical Deep Q-Network (FL-HDQN). First, an adaptive model synchronization mechanism is integrated into the federated learning framework. By sharing only local model parameters instead of raw data, UAVs collaboratively train a global model for each task subnet. This approach ensures decision consistency while preserving data privacy and reducing communication costs. Second, to overcome the curse of dimensionality caused by multi-domain interference parameters, a hierarchical deep reinforcement learning model is designed. The model decouples multi-domain optimization into two levels: the first layer performs time–frequency domain decisions, and the second layer conducts power and modulation-coding domain decisions, ensuring both real-time performance and decision effectiveness. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that, compared with state-of-the-art intelligent anti-jamming models, the proposed method achieves 1% higher decision accuracy, validating its superiority and effectiveness.

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have driven significant progress in intelligent anti-jamming communications. However, existing methods still face two major limitations: reinforcement learning-based models often suffer from slow convergence, while knowledge graph-based approaches lack dynamic interaction capabilities in complex, time-varying electromagnetic environments. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel two-stage intelligent decision-making framework. In the first stage, an anti-jamming knowledge graph repository is constructed to enable rapid decision-making through efficient reasoning, thereby ensuring real-time responsiveness. The second stage introduces a hierarchical reinforcement learning architecture that facilitates environmental interaction for continuous model evolution and self-adaptation. By simplifying multidimensional parameter spaces into two-dimensional decision scenarios, the proposed method effectively reduces computational complexity and accelerates convergence. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a 4.2% increase in the anti-jamming decision success rate and a 104.8% improvement in the transmission rate compared to state-of-the-art methods. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the framework in both anti-jamming performance and learning efficiency, validating its practical effectiveness in dynamic electromagnetic environments.
