## Video Security Enhancement System (VSES)

***Jay Brown***

## VSES

**Motivation:**
- After 9/11, Presearch Incorporated advanced the premise of transmitting live video from an aircraft in flight to the ground in emergencies using on-board communications to provide authorities with near real time situational awareness.
- Track to Agency Goal:
- Safety – Project will support the ARA Safety Goal by applying systems engineering, analysis, and research to mitigate the risk of safety hazards.
- Security – Project will support the FAA Security mission to prevent security incidents in the aviation system.

- ProgRev 01-15-03 v20

## VSES

** ****Objective:**
- To demonstrate video technology from an aircraft in flight to the ground utilizing available, on-board aircraft communications channels.
- Presearch Incorporated will demonstrate that the technology actually can provide secure, high quality video using bandwidths as low as ordinary cell phones.

- ProgRev 01-15-03 v20

## VSES

**Approach:**
- Demonstration is to be designed as a proof-of-concept, bringing to bear the Presearch Incorporated video domain knowledge, technology and equipment, and working in conjunction with the talents and capabilities of the FAA Technical Center.

**Notes:**
Early on, we realized the first major task of the RT effort was to accomplish the V&V milestone.  To reach this, a design was created of software modules, a HLA architecture layout, CDE (collaborative development environment) tools, etc. were needed.  Realizing this, we drew-up an interim test schedule that would get us to the V&V milestone, in smaller steps with documented results along the way.  It was a good choice, as the lessons learned at each test, benefited the next.  Next slide will have fuller detail.   Still much to do, linking into/out of the FFC is a major hurdle.  Shortcomings of the MAXSIM software has delayed our development (other projects as well – FAA ground taxi, etc).  We are re-focusing out TG efforts on the ground portion.  This will let the RT effort allow for a limited airport operation/environment.  Very useful for development of research projects without tying up the FFC complex.  Will allow for a larger scale, multi-city studies with a more accurate airport arrival and departure scheme.  Adding “loop-closing” agents will be the toughest issue.  We expect to develop low fidelity “agents” to reduce the number of humans needed to accomplish a scenario.  An example would be an agent to start a/c into a scenario at a given rate or based on the number of a/c within a sector or released at a defined miles in trail sequence.  Another example would be an agent to change weather information based on any number of criteria. (wind direction at airport that necessitates a change in runway configuration – change enroute winds that would effect acceptance rates, conflict alerts, top of descent profiles, etc.
