Summary:
|
Urban air mobility (UAM) is an on-demand passenger or cargo-carrying air transportation services, typically flown within urban areas. This new type of transportation is expected to resolve various problems including the utmost traffic jam occurred in a big city. For providing air mobility service in an urban area, the characteristics of the city such as noise-sensitiveness, cramped spaces and crowded people should be considered. So an electric powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicles is being developed by many companies and it has various communication devices for safe and exact aviation. When UAM is compared with unmanned air vehicle/system (UAV/UAS) in H/W architecture and communication channel aspects, UAM has many different components such as fuel cell system, safety controller, rescue system, satellite communication system, ADB-S (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast)/V2V communication channel and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) /VHF (Very High Frequency) communication channel in order to carry people safely in the airway. Thus, embedded communication systems make it highly probable that some communication channels can be targets of an attacker to access to connected eVTOL internal systems and might cause heavy casualties. Therefore, it is necessary to consider and study technical and environmental characteristics, potential vulnerabilities and their security requirements for connected eVTOL vehicle equipped with various connectivity functionalities utilized in an urban air mobility. So this draft new Recommendation provides overview of eVTOL system, security threat analysis and security requirements for eVTOL for providing security guidelines to industries involved in an urban air mobility services.
