As technologically complex and networked cyber-physical entities, an AS needs to ensure “safe and secure” mission functionality despite the occurrence of any encountered cyber-physical disruptions. As such, an AS is a highly-dynamic entity that needs to adapt to the vagaries of its operational environments and security profiles (including changing threats). Providing “predictable, scalable and composable” security (of the AS assets, of the AS operations and the AS usage environment) in “uncontrolled and dynamic” operational environments is the objective of TAS-S.
The development of autonomous systems is rapidly increasing and applications range across transport, industry, health and public services and defence. This project focuses on the security of AS and of the environment in which they operate.
