ATM-EXCITE | Advancing Civil-Military Interoperability and Coordination through Excellence in Science and Technology

Summary
The ATM-EXCITE project will identify the requirements of ATM systems for civil-military aviation coordination and cybersecurity and develop a set of solutions. The project will engage with stakeholders throughout the solution development phase to ensure that the proposed solutions meet their needs.
By engaging with stakeholders and using a rigorous approach to solution development, the project team is confident that it will develop effective and implementable solutions to the challenges of civil-military aviation coordination and cybersecurity. Once the requirements have been identified, the project team will design, develop, and test proposed solutions using a variety of approaches, including system design, software development, and cybersecurity testing. The project team will design system architectures for the proposed solutions. The system architectures will take into account the requirements of ATM systems, cybersecurity best practices, and operational constraints.
The SESAR ER call explicitly emphasizes the need for enhanced security, confidentiality, and anonymisation in the realm of military aviation data. The call also draws attention to the vulnerabilities associated with real-time airborne position data. Our proposed solutions aim to directly address these vulnerabilities by introducing methods for verification of ADS-B data and selective encryption and model the interaction between civil and military systems in an efficient manner.
This strategic alignment ensures that the solutions directly impact the priorities outlined in the European ATM Master Plan, further promoting the harmonisation of civil and military aviation in the European sky. Within the work areas of improved security of military operations and digitalisation for Airspace Management (ASM) and mission trajectory management (MTM), ATM-EXCITE proposes 5 research solutions.
In a second phase ATM-EXCITE will identify synergies among them in order to propose one or several integrated solutions.
