SiLuFra - Secure Air Cargo Transport Chain: Concepts, strategies and technologies for secure and efficient air cargo transport chains
Overview
Background & policy context:
Ensuring a secure, efficient handling of airfreight is a major challenge. This is, among other things, due to the variety of possible transport goods and the large number of potential points of attack in the process chain. Despite the importance of the subject, there are hardly any practical concepts to solve this problem so far.
Objectives:
The overall project aims to increase security in air transport while at the same time increasing or at least maintaining the efficiency of the operational business in air cargo. The main focus of the project is not on the development and implementation of additional technical components, but on process- and organization-led measures taking into account economic aspects. The basis is a process-oriented project approach, which takes into account the entire logistics process chain with all parties involved in the transport chain.
Methodology:
With the help of SiLuFra the entire freight logistics in air traffic in Germany is systematically analysed. Based on the analysis, approaches to improve the secure handling of airfreight are developed so that potential weaknesses in the transport chain are identified and a reliable protection against manipulations and attacks is enabled.
