Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of the NextGen Flight Risk Profile (FRP), which is envisioned to provide a common operational reference model for depicting the risk assessment information, including a computed risk level, of all active flights in the FAA National Airspace System (NAS). The FRP is stipulated in the FAA´s Air Domain Security Concept of Operations, which states that the FAA and its security partners will jointly develop the following: 1) A pre-defined set of security risk profiles that reflect the spectrum of threats which may jeopardize the NAS in any form. 2) A pre-determined set of potential FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) response options for each defined risk profile.
