President Trump issued a new strategy to protect the U.S. aviation domain from cyber attacks, unmanned aircraft and other threats. The White House announced the release of the National Strategy for Aviation Security in a press statement published Wednesday.
The new strategy sets a framework to implement an integrated approach to safeguard the aviation ecosystem and facilitate aviation-related activities supporting the U.S. economy. NSAS has four strategic objectives: protect the U.S. and its global interests in the aviation ecosystem; maximize aviation security while maintaining aviation safety and balancing economic impact; improve resilience, expedite recovery and mitigate damage and engage domestic, international and private sector partners.
The document also sets four strategic actions to maximize domain awareness; assess vulnerabilities and threats; strengthen layered aviation security; ensure continuity and promote resilience of the aviation domain.Â
