Taking Flight – 3 Experts Discuss Aerospace Cybersecurity
summary
Claims that avionics hubs can route malicious updates hinge on a few constraints: attacks need physical access to LRUs, must hit address locations on buses like ARINC 429, and are mitigated by hard fallbacks (28V direct lines, RAT, redundant nav). Practical fixes proposed include ATT&CK-style maintenance codes in the hub and virtualized bus testing to learn packet formats. Separately, a new Space Prime initiative funds SBIR teams to prove on-orbit data processing and secure data movement (target demos ~2024) and fund debris remediation and on‑orbit servicing.
