Summary:This issue marks the first of a two-part Special Issue on Cyber Security in Aerospace for the IEEE Aerospace & Electronics Systems Magazine. Cyber security is an increasing worry on many fronts, but typical discussions and headlines focus on very different types of threats than those experienced by aviation and space systems. Cyber security vulnerabilities compromise the control, traffic, navigation, and integrity of these systems. Countermeasures involve not only specialized systems and architectures, but often international cooperation, as the need for awareness extends well beyond the boundaries of a single aircraft. The global impact of aviation and aerospace, in both manned and unmanned systems, the dramatic safety issues involved, and its aging legacy processes and systems, lead to particularly complex, multi-level, but interdependent, systems of air, land and space.
