Security of Aircraft in the Future European Environment “SAFEE”

Presented work is undertaken in the frame of the on course “SAFEE” EUROPEAN Integrated Project of the 6th European Framework Program. This is a large project designed to restore full confidence in the air transport industry, constructing an advanced aircraft security system designed to prevent on-board threats. To reach this objective SAFEE deals with onboard threat detection, studying an integrated threat detection system based on multiple sensor information. Among project's objectives is the protection of voice and data communications which are daily used for exploitation of aircraft in a hostile fashion that may lead to a dramatic situation like direct or indirect control of the aircraft by hijackers or use of false data that can endanger the flight safety. Characterization of Electromagnetic threats coupling with on-board antennas is the presented work. This is carried out taking into account different front door threats scenarios and looking for interference results by modeling Electromagnetic intrusive signals.
