Aim: As the aviation industry grows more digital and reliant on wireless technology, it has grown more appealing to cyber criminals, including nation-state actors and terrorists. Vulnerabilities in a wide range of networked devices and (sub)systems, as well as their implementations and design defects, can be used to carry out malicious operations. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive survey threats on aviation communication models. Methods: We describe an overview of aviation threat model and attacks. A detailed taxonomy predicated on security vulnerability is presented. Further, this paper discusses the research aspects and challenges to be taken care of in aviation security and communication Finally, we conclude with a summary of the current state of threats and their consequences for widely-used aviation models. Results: The main findings of this study is to introduce fundamental security vulnerabilities of aviation model and classify into categories to efficiently analyze them. Vulnerabilities of VOR, ILS systems and their impact are also discussed. Moreover, we describe and assess mitigation systems to defense these attacks. Conclusion: We conclude that the aviation system is still exposed to various attacks. We examine key technological challenges that have been serving as a deterrent to adopting more secure alternative approaches, as well as research avenues where further progress is needed.

The subject of study in the article is methods for improving the cybersecurity of unmanned aerial vehicles with an integrated ADS-B system. The aim is to analyze and compare methods for improving the cybersecurity of unmanned aerial vehicles with an embedded ADS-B system. Particular scientific tasks: analysis and comparative studies of the main types of cyber threats and methods for improving the cybersecurity of unmanned aerial vehicles with an integrated ADS-B system, the development of an appropriate taxonomy, and the development of proposals for further research. The methods used in the article are the methods of system analysis. The following research results have been obtained: a classification of cyber threats to the security of unmanned aerial vehicles with an integrated ADS-B system has been developed; a taxonomy of ADS-B message modification and injection attacks has been developed; practical UAV security metrics adapted to the presented taxonomy of cyberattacks are defined and researched ; chosen most priority directions research ; - a generalized classification of cryptographic protection methods adapted to solve the problems of improving the security of UAVs with an integrated ADS-B system has been developed; the use of additional means of identification based on steganographic methods of data protection is proposed. Conclusions. An analysis and comparative studies have been carried out, and a generalized classification of methods for improving the cybersecurity of unmanned aerial vehicles with an integrated ADS-B system has been developed. Their advantages and disadvantages are revealed, which made it possible to determine the priority of further research and possible promising ways to solve the tasks.

“…While ADS-B OUT considered as an airspace requirement and already being used in many parts of the world (such as Australia, Canada, and China [4]), according to FAA and EASA mandates, all aircraft flying in designated controlled airspace must be equipped with compliant ADS-B Out avionics by January and June 2020, respectively [5], [6]. The only exception (U.S. airspace) is for the aircraft that fly in uncontrolled airspace and aircraft without electrical systems such as gliders and balloons.…”

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is the successor surveillance technology which is used in aviation, and according to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the vast majority of aircraft must be equipped with it by January and June 2020, respectively. However, ADS-B, as it is utilized today, is not free from problems. This paper discusses observed attacks and corresponding methods that can be realized over ADS-B surveillance technology and consequently, compromise its availability, integrity or confidentiality. Nonetheless, as an opening, the paper studies essential characteristics of ADS-B, functionality, deployment status and other relevant facts and figures for a better understanding of the basics, current state, and pitfalls of the state-of-the-art technology for air traffic surveillance and control. Then this paper proceeds to study complexity, severity, and effect of the attacks by providing some examples. Ultimately, the paper complements the previous sections by presenting an outline of the proposed solutions and mitigation techniques and survey the most distinguished ones.
