June 2016
In recent years, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been stepping up modernization efforts that involve shifting air traffic control from ground-based technology to satellites. Airplane systems are also becoming increasingly automated and more connected to computer systems. While modernization has resulted in greater efficiency for the aviation industry, it has also made the industry vulnerable to cyber-attack. Aircraft Builders Council released a free, 5-page white paper that discusses aviation cyber security.
Responding to Cyber Challenges in the Aviation Industry
In the past decade, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been modernizing the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system through its Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), an Internet Protocol (IP) based technology that will replace radio communications with satellite-based communications.
