Aircraft increasing rely on networked systems, so ITK offers comprehensive cyber security solutions that protect critical data and processes against emerging cyber threats, ensuring the security and integrity of modern aviation. Although the networking of aircraft systems opens up the possibility of additional functions, it also introduces potential security vulnerabilities. We use robust cyber security measures and follow a multilayered approach that addresses weaknesses in all aspects of modern aircraft systems.

At a glance:

• Avionic system security & real-time threat monitoring
• Protecting flight control systems & data protection during flight
• Wireless communications & embedded systems security
• Redundancy and resilience for uninterrupted operation
• Aircraft software security through stringent development practices

By applying these comprehensive cyber security strategies and complying with the strict guidelines of DO-326 (ED-202A), DO-356A (ED-203A), DO-355A (ED-204A), and DO-392A (ED-206), ITK ensures that aircraft systems are resilient, adaptable, and secure against the emerging range of cyber threats.

ITK harnesses the power of digital models and simulations to design, develop, and validate complex aviation systems. This model-based approach optimizes the engineering process, reduces risks, and facilitates more rapid innovation, while also ensuring compliance with the strictest standards for security and reliability. Given the increasing complexity of the systems involved, ITK applies model-based systems engineering (MBSE) – a system that uses digital models as the central source of truth throughout the entire product life cycle and therefore goes beyond traditional, document-based systems engineering.

At a glance:

• Improved collaboration and communication
• Accelerated development and reduced risk
• Improved quality and security
• Model-based development (MBD) using powerful tools (MATLAB/Simulink and SCADE)
• MBSE-specific techniques and tools

By combining the power of MBSE with robust MBD tools, ITK ensures the development of high-quality, secure, certifiable systems that are equal to the tough challenges of the aviation industry.
