  Abstract

Urban air mobility (UAM) is rapidly becoming an alternative to traditional ground transportation, owing to the development of hyper-connected communication technology. However, safely transitioning from ground transportation to an air transportation system requires research in various fields. To ensure safe and efficient urban flight management, the operation of air and passenger transportation services requires the integration of various technologies and regulations across multiple fields. This includes safe operations for aircraft, vertiports and air control centers in the physical domain, and information security technology operations for cybersecurity in the cyber domain. As UAM systems become increasingly reliant on connected technologies and data, effective countermeasures against cybersecurity threats are essential for ensuring their safe and secure operation. This could involve implementing robust cybersecurity protocols and leveraging advanced anti-threat technologies to identify and respond to potential threats. However, urban aviation operations face unique potential threats that are not typically encountered by general aircraft services. These include interference from ground operations, sabotage, exposure of aviation information, interception, tampering, theft, and fraudulent use. Moreover, vulnerabilities in the operation and management of manned and unmanned aircraft, pilots, remote pilots, vertiports, and air traffic control centers can be exposed and exploited. Therefore, this study aims to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities associated with UAM operations, and propose security requirements and reliable countermeasures to ensure their safe and secure operation against cyber threats.
