ATM Resilience Department

The “ATM Resilience” department conducts research to ensure that air traffic remains safe and stable even under challenging or changing conditions. One key focus is aviation cyber resilience, which examines how digital systems in air transport can be better protected against cyberattacks and technical disruptions. In the field of higher airspace operations, the department explores how upper airspace can be used safely and efficiently, for example by new types of vehicles or future operational concepts above today’s conventional air traffic. Space traffic integration addresses how rocket launches, satellite missions, and other space activities can be coordinated with regular air traffic to prevent conflicts and ensure safety. In addition, the department works on the prevention of wildlife strikes, aiming to reduce the risk of collisions between aircraft and animals, such as birds. Through these research areas, the department contributes to making future air transport more robust, secure, and resilient.
