Description

The GERMAN IMPROVED AIR DEFENCE SYSTEM, stationary (GefStd FüSys LuSK GIADS stnr), is used for military surveillance of airspace over Germany and adjacent areas. The system consists of two components: The German Improved Air Defense System (GIADS) and the Control and Flight Clearance Facility (KOFA) as a communication system. With the help of GIADS, the information provided by radars (military and civil) about flying objects is processed and displayed graphically. This military air situation representation is automatically supplemented by the inclusion of civil air traffic control data (e.g. air situation Eurocontrol, flight plans). The detected objects are identified using state-of-the-art methods, resulting in a constantly up-to-date air situation from the processed information. The system thus contributes to increased safety in German airspace. Furthermore, GIADS is used for the management of military air traffic. The KOFA is an integral part of the GefStd FüSys LuSK GIADS stnr and enables all communication with all military and civilian bodies involved in this process. This is necessary for the management and coordination of military air traffic and, if necessary, the coordination of civil air traffic. The KOFA serves to ensure all communication between the military air traffic controllers as an operator and the aircraft to be lead. In addition, coordination between individual air traffic control units is ensured. All communication is recorded audit-proof in order to be able to reconstruct the course of flight accidents in the aftermath. In detail, KOFA enables the operator to conduct several conversations and conferences simultaneously via various channels of telephony and radio not only with civil and military aircraft, but also simultaneously with each other with the individual radar stations and air traffic control centers of the Air Force (e.g. Erndtebrück) and civil air traffic control (e.g. Bremen, Lagen, Munich). In the event of loss of contact with an aircraft, a deviation from predetermined flight routes or the entry of unidentified flying objects into German airspace, there is the possibility of establishing a connection and controlling the deployment of the German alarm rottens for security purposes. The basis of the aforementioned capabilities is, among other things, the KOFA-WAN, a data transport network over which all KOFA systems exchange data. The KOFA-WAN is at its respective system boundaries in accordance with the requirements of information security as a central service provision of the Federal Ministry of Defence (InfoSchh; zDv A-960/1, BMVg CIT II 2, since 05.03.2019). The current form of this protection is no longer compliant with the regulations, so it is imperative to improve it here. The same applies to logging, which no longer meets the requirements of InfoSichh. Previously, the focus was on monitoring the technical processes in an IT system in order to be able to react to errors and analyze them. This focus has been massively expanded by the regulations on InfoSichh, so that there has been a need for improvement here. Without the measures to be implemented here, it will no longer be possible to obtain accreditation from 2024 and thus the operational approval of the Federal Armed Forces Aviation Office (LufABw) to intervene in airspace. Communication from the Control and Report Center (CRC) would no longer be possible. The KOFA-WAN is a mandatory basis for the implementation of the obsolescence elimination of the CRC.
