ITU-T Recommendations

Recommendation ITU-T X.1385 provides security threats, security requirements, and implementation guidelines for telecommunications in an urban air mobility (UAM) environment. UAM or advanced air mobility (AAM) is an air transportation system for on-demand passenger transport or cargo-carrying services, typically flown within or to/from urban areas. This new type of transportation system is expected to resolve various problems including the utmost traffic jams, environmental pollution and a dense population in a big city. To provide air mobility service with safe and exact aviation in an urban area, various communication systems should be used. Thus, those communication systems make it highly probable that some communication channels can be targets of an attacker to access connected aerial vehicle's internal systems and might cause heavy casualties.
This Recommendation may be utilized by UAM/AAM manufacturers and related industries for commercial implementation as telecommunication security requirements and guidelines only after approval by national and/or international aviation authorities.
