Description

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) oversees the national airspace system, which comprises air-traffic control (ATC) systems, procedures, facilities, and aircraft, and the people who operate them. FAA is implementing Next Gen to move the current radar-based ATC system to one based on satellite navigation and automation. It is essential that FAA ensures effective information-security controls are incorporated in the design of NextGen programs. This report (1) identifies the cybersecurity challenges facing FAA as it shifts to the NextGen ATC system and how FAA has begun addressing those challenges; and (2) assesses the extent to which FAA and its contractors, in the acquisition of NextGen programs, have followed federal guidelines for incorporating cybersecurity controls. Table and figures. This is a print on demand report.
