title: UAV Underwater Drones network traffic statistics

description: Dataset: UAV and Underwater Drone Network Anomaly Dataset (NTNU and SINTEF)

Overview

This dataset contains real time operational telemetry and network traces from the Trondheim Fjord region in Norway. Data originates from long running campaigns conducted by the Marine Cybernetics Laboratory at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and the SINTEF Ocean Research Center. Platforms include autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicle relays, coastal buoys, and a shoreside gateway. The collection spans February 2022 to March 2025 and reflects real world marine communication where acoustic, radio frequency, and satellite links operate together.

The public release is anonymized and standardized for research in anomaly detection, graph and temporal modeling, and privacy aware federated learning. Sensitive identifiers were removed in line with Norwegian maritime governance and European Union GDPR requirements.
