Air transport safety - and protection system

摘要

A safety and security system (10) is disclosed. The system includes an aircraft subsystem (12), a ground subsystem (16) in communication with the aircraft subsystem via a wireless communication link (14), and an external system (18) in communication with the ground subsystem via a second communication link (20). The aircraft subsystem (12) includes a comparator module (42) for comparing flight data with expected data, and a triggering module (44) for triggering transmission of selected data when the flight data deviate ftom the expected data. The ground subsystem (16) includes an analyzer module (54) for analyzing the selected data transmitted from the aircraft. One of the ground subsystem (16) and the external system (18) includes a correlation module (56) for correlating the selected data transmitted from the aircraft with information accessible by the external system (18).
