In this paper, we present a machine-learning technique to counteract jamming attacks in underwater networks. Indeed, this is relevant in security applications where sensor devices are located in critical regions, for example, in the case of national border surveillance or for identifying any unauthorized intrusion. To this aim, a multi-hop routing protocol that relies on the exploitation of a Q-learning methodology is presented with a focus on increasing reliability in data communication and network lifetime. Performance results assess the effectiveness of the proposed solution as compared to other efficient state-of-the-art approaches.
