National Security: When Time is of the Essence

摘要

Civil air traffic control officers (ATCOs) play a crucial role in supporting national security. Breaches in national security require a decisive and timely response. A prerequisite to detecting these breaches is the dissemination of information from civil to military authorities. However, the sheer amount of information and the primary focus on safety creates a whole new area of blind spots. Automated security nets and incident management systems are needed to illuminate these spots and allow the proper authorities to focus the attention on the actual anomalies and to coordinate the proper responses.
