Modulated Synchronous Taxiing: Mitigating Uncertainties Amid Ads-B Spoofing

Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) spoofing attacks such as ghost aircraft injection causes severe impact to the Air Traffic Management (ATM) on the airside as well as on airport ground movement. Therefore, we propose a custom method for taxiing-out amid an ongoing ADS-B spoofing attack which encompasses of three key components. First is by minimizing impact of occurred perturbations and guide Air Traffic Control (ATC) by first establishing pivotal information about the taxiway and spoofing conditions. Second is the application of selected optimal algorithms to quickly capitalize available time to initiate takeoffs while the third phase is adjustment and execution of tracking function in sustaining effects of the dynamic and fluctuating spoofing attacks. This proposed method would enable aircraft takeoffs as many as possible right after departure operations has been restarted whilst concurrently aiming for optimum level of taxiway and runway utilization through status tracking of pertinent zones along the taxiway.
