“…Instead, in regard to the research perspective, a relevant example is represented by SATIE (security of air transport infrastructure of Europe) project [27], which has analyzed the cyber and physical threat scenarios typical of attacks that threaten airport infrastructures and the results of a risk analysis applied to these scenarios. Instead, reference [28] presents an example of the data-driven approach for risk assessment, using radar-tracking data to estimate precursors that may lead to unsafe outcomes related to traffic separations.…”

A Methodological Framework for the Risk Assessment of Drone Intrusions in Airports

Drone expansion needs to be considered as a menace in cases of negligent, illicit, or non-cooperative use. In the case of airports, a complete protection against drone intrusion should rely on an intrusion management system, aiming at avoiding the closure of the airport. This system requires the setting of proper risk assessment methodologies for airport operations, to explicitly consider the features of drone intrusion, possibly from a quantitative point of view. This work proposes a methodological framework for the risk assessment of drone intrusions in airports, tailored on drone-intrusion features, airport features, and current operations, and considering both safety-related and security-related causes. The framework is based on the combination of model-based and data-driven approaches in order to: (i) estimate an airport vulnerability index, to measure the susceptibility of the airport to drone intrusions, based on reference datasets; (ii) specify a set of event trees to evaluate the risks of the different threat scenarios related to drone intrusions. The proposed methodological framework is applied to a concrete case study, related to Milan Malpensa airport. The achieved results show the effectiveness of the approach and elicit further requirements for counter-drone systems in airports based on the assessed risks.

“…According to Borener et al (2016), since NextGen programs have been implemented recently, it was difficult to measure their impact on safety through traditional metrics such as the number of accidents and/or incidents. To anticipate what may lead to unsafe operations, the authors evaluated how changes in separation standards through wake vortex classification may lead to unsafe outcomes based on historical data such as the counts of wake, proximity, and anomalous trajectory events in two 30-day samples, respectively in the pre-and post-implementation of wake recat at MEM.…”
