Imagine a busy highway in the sky where civilian planes and military jets need to share the same space without crashing or leaking secrets. This work creates a digital 'traffic cop' that verifies where planes actually are and hides sensitive military data. It ensures that both types of aircraft can communicate safely without exposing vulnerabilities to hackers.
Civil and military aircraft often struggle to coordinate in the same airspace securely. Current systems have vulnerabilities in real-time position data and lack sufficient encryption for sensitive military operations.
The project is developing 5 core solutions (ADVERMA, SEALD, ANYSKY, DACSEC ADS-B, and SIMCOM) and system architectures for secure air traffic coordination.
If you are an avionics manufacturer dealing with vulnerabilities in real-time airborne position data — this project developed methods for verification of ADS-B data and selective encryption that improve aircraft security.
If you are an ANSP dealing with the difficulty of coordinating military and civilian flights in the same airspace — this project developed 5 research solutions to digitize airspace management and mission trajectories.
If you are a cybersecurity firm dealing with the lack of encrypted communication in air traffic systems — this project developed system architectures based on cybersecurity best practices to protect aviation data.
Based on available project data, no pricing or cost information is provided as the project is currently in the research and development phase.
The project is in early stages; some core solutions like ANYSKY and SIMCOM have only reached TRL 1, meaning they are not yet ready for industrial scale.
Based on available project data, there is no specific information regarding IP rights or licensing agreements for the 5 proposed solutions.
The project aligns with the European ATM Master Plan to harmonize civil and military aviation in European airspace.
The project period runs from 2024-10-01 to 2027-03-31, suggesting full development and testing will conclude by March 2027.
The team is designing system architectures that consider operational constraints and ATM system requirements to ensure they can be implemented.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with a 67% industry ratio consisting of 4 companies (including 3 SMEs). This suggests a strong focus on commercial viability, supported by 1 university and 1 research center across 6 European countries.
