Det er vanskelig for undertegnede å si hvorvidt trusselen om ghost airplanes er reell eller ikke. Jeg antar at ubemannede tårn vil ha optiske systemer som kan se det som er nødvendig å se når forholdene tillater det. Jeg tror også at disse hackerflyene vil bli avslørt ganske kvikt. Send meg gjerne informasjon om trusselen dersom du vet noe om saken. Fjernstyrte tårn er en realitet og vil bre om seg, også her.
Reports Question Zombie Towers, Ghost Airplanes
Recent reports in the mainstream media raised questions about whether FAA's
NextGen air traffic control system might be vulnerable to hackers who can create
"ghost airplanes," and also asked why 102 "zombie towers" across the country are
kept open all night despite low traffic. The FAA has said that airports with
four or fewer flights per hour at night don't need to keep the tower open,
according to Bloomberg News, yet about 100 towers are staffed that fall
within those guidelines, costing about $10 million per year. Meanwhile, an NBC
affiliate in California's San Francisco Bay area reported that hackers say they
could insert fake "ghost" airplanes into the ADS-B system and controllers would
be unable to tell them from real aircraft.
FAA spokesman Ian Gregor told NBC Bay Area the agency has "a thorough process in place to
ensure the safety and security of the ADS-B system." Potential vulnerabilities
are assessed on an ongoing basis, he said. "We require continual, independent
validation of the accuracy and reliability of ADS-B and aircraft avionics
signals. The air traffic system is based on redundancies to ensure safe and
secure operations." As for the "zombie" towers, Bloomberg said "members of
Congress from both parties" have blocked attempts to reduce hours or merge
facilities.
