DEFINITIONS

• ATM Security
• Safeguarding the ATM system ( self protection)
• Airspace security
• Safeguarding airspace from unauthorised use,
  intrusion, illegal activities, or other violation
• Aviation Security (AVSEC) (ICAO definition)
  (Annex 17)
• Safeguarding of civil aviation against acts of
  unlawful interference. This objective is achieved
  by a combination of measures and human resources

NEASCOG ATM Security Strategy
VISION The airspace and ATM system (people,
infrastructure and data) should be trusted by the
national governments and by the public that they
are secure and well protected from any unlawful
activities that could potentially cause
disruption to civil air transport

• STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Improved ATM Security Measures
• Institutional Framework and International
  Cooperation
• Regulatory Framework
• ATM Security System
• Civil-Military Cooperation

Civil/military cooperation in data link

• Military use
• Command and control
• Force multiplier
• Redundancy
• Secured (protected,. )
• Civil/military Cooperation
• Safety and security improvements for the ATM
  system
• Contingency
• Cost efficiency, (infrastructure.)
• Interoperability,

21
ATM Security and data links

• SWOT approach
• Situation awareness
• Improve communication exchange between the ATM
  players (secure, reliable, fast .) and National
  Governmental Authorities (command and control)
• Decision making process
• Minimize impact of events on ATM network/
  Improved flexibility
• Speed up recovery
• Redundancy / security
• Mitigation / procedures
• PETS approach
• Technology

22
DATALINK , a meeting point for SECURITY

• DATALINK, a building block of the ATM system
• Improved redundancy shall improve robustness
• Mitigation solutions in case of ATM security
  events should be therefore easier to put in place
• Since the distinction between civil and defense
  activity in terms of tasks and challenges to be
  carried out is narrowing crossover between civil
  and military technologies should be consider to
  improve security levels
