The project will offer an optimally scalable solution that will integrate several security fields, tools, and services so that we will take into account all the requirements and limitations and adaptation of the ALADIN solution to different specific companies, air traffic administrations or other end users.
The ALADIN Platform will improve the Safety management functions of providing air navigation services that make sure that all safety risks will be identified, assessed and reduced to an acceptable level since, within the recent applications, there are not integrated Cyber Security tools for Airports Communications.
The motivation behind ALADIN project derives from the current political and economic situation: the attack occurred in USA 9/11, caused a significant number of changes to national and international aviation security regulations. Confidence in the sector dramatically affected the proclivity to travel, and the public is only recently returning to pre-9/11 numbers and the industry returning to profitability.
