Remote-Control Airplane Software
Does anyone other than me see a problem with this?
Some 30 European businesses and research institutes are working to create software that would make it possible from a distance to regain control of an aircraft from hijackers, according to the German news magazine.
The system "which could only be controlled from the ground would conduct the aircraft posing a problem to the nearest airport whether it liked it or not," according to extracts from next Monday's Der Spiegel released Saturday.
"A hijacker would have no chance of reaching his goal," it said.
Unless his goal were, um, hijacking the aircraft.
It seems to me that by designing remote-control software for airplanes, you open the possibility for someone to hijack the plane without even being on board. Sure, there are going to be computer-security controls protecting this thing, but we all know how well that sort of thing has worked in the past.
The system would be designed in such a way that even a computer hacker on board could not get round it.
But what about computer hackers on the ground?
Could a plane be hijacked by cyberhackers?
Planes could be hijacked by cybercriminals using complex hacking techniques, warned experts at Farnborough International Airshow, where security in the sector is proving a hot topic.
Just as a home device is susceptible to cyberattacks, systems on some of the most advanced airplanes are under threat, according to Steven Hawkins, vice president of international solutions at Raytheon’s Intelligence, Information and Services division.
”(Planes) are all controlled by computers. Think about autopilot - these are critical systems,” Hawkins told CNBC at Farnborough.
