Why It Matters
The Almaz-Antey Group is a major Russian manufacturer specializing in air defense and navigation systems.
The Almaz-Antey Group has developed a multifunctional information protection system for air traffic control, Dmitry Savitsky, the Group’s Deputy CEO for aerial navigation system and dual-use products, said in an interview with TASS.
"Today, we are developing and testing automation tools for this process (restoration of air traffic after the lifting of restrictions on the use of airspace). For instance, one of our companies has already developed a system of cutting-edge information security tools for the unified air traffic control system facilities, which is already being integrated into the automated control systems of the unified air traffic control automation systems. This multifunctional system is capable of repelling complex cyberattacks on the secured facility, ensuring its reliable protection," he emphasized.
According to him, techniques and procedures have already been developed and tested regarding the interaction between the airspace management system and air defense systems, which will minimize losses for air carriers after airspace restrictions are lifted.
