ThalesRaytheonSystems

As a world leader, benefiting from more than 40 years of experience in military Air Surveillance (radars and C2 centers), ThalesRaytheonSystems has introduced the CybAIRVision®: a complete suite of products and services to detect cyber intrusions in air surveillance systems, at radar, control center and national levels.

Co-located with the radar, the CybAIR Radbox is designed for civil and military airspace surveillance radars. It monitors operational data, alerts the user if the radar behaves abnormally, performs technical and operational supervision roles and enables operators to visualize the operational consequences of a cyber-attack. 

CybAIR Radbox combines communication gateways already providing network security (Firewall….) with very innovative Air Surveillance domain specific processes – CybAIR Agents - to detect potential cyber-attacks that would have penetrated the radar network.

In addition to the state of the art conventional signature-based tools, CybAIR Agents offer real time radar data flow analysis and detection of abnormal behaviours like non-standard message formats or inconsistent data versus history or radar environment. This very innovative approach enables the software to detect any kind of cyber-attack, including zero-day incursions that exploit an unknown vulnerability in the system, and insider assault on a protected network.

CybAIR Agents and traditional IT components are kept up-to-date through periodic updates according to R&D progresses and cyber threats evolution. 

In case of an alert, CybAIR Radbox presents operational consequences and guidelines to the operator to investigate potential causes and assess the nature of the warning. In addition, CybAIR Radbox records radar data flows to allow post-analysis.

CybAIR Radbox can be interfaced with any military or civilian surveillance radar and supports more than sixty protocols (including ASTERIX, ISR2…). It can be operated independently of ThalesRaytheonSystems in line with sovereign policy.

CybAIR Radbox has been successfully evaluated in 2013, by the French Air Force and the French defence procurement agency (DGA). As a result of the field evaluation, CybAIR Radbox has been integrated in the French Air Force Concept of Operations.

Additionally CybAIRVision® suite also includes CybAIR Multilink as a solution for Command and Control centers which aggregates information from several CybAIR Radbox, and CybAIR Picture which provides national supervision and cyber awareness.

Thales Raytheon Systems CybAIRVision® is the immediately available Off-The-Shelf solution to insure Air Operations integrity within the ever growing cyber threats environment.
