华盛顿，9月21日（路透社）——参议员罗恩·怀登表示，周一发布的一份政府监督报告显示，美国空中交通管制员与商用飞机之间的通信“极其不安全”，美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）必须采取措施应对相关威胁。
美国政府问责局（GAO）指出，联邦航空管理局尚未完成风险评估，也未更新应对欺骗和干扰威胁所需的安全文件，且不具备针对所有频谱相关威胁的实时检测能力。

“政府问责局这份发人深省的报告显示，空中交通管制员用于与飞机通信的技术极其不安全，可能被拦截、冒充和干扰，黑客和外国政府可以利用这些漏洞扰乱航空旅行，甚至将乘客置于危险之中，”怀登说。
报告称，黑客可以向飞机发送虚假的许可取消或其他信息，可能导致航班延误、空域混乱或安全问题。
怀登补充道，“联邦航空管理局未能要求航空业使用安全通信，这对美国国家安全、经济和飞行公众的安全构成重大威胁。”

联邦航空管理局未立即置评。
两套用于向飞机发送信息的系统是在现代网络安全防护措施普及之前开发的，缺乏常见的加密防护手段。
联邦航空管理局在回应报告时表示，同意政府问责局提出的九项建议。
“随着飞机和飞行运营变得更加互联互通，网络和电磁漏洞对包括空中交通管制、数据通信和航空电子设备在内的关键系统构成的风险日益增加，”联邦航空管理局称。
欺骗和干扰问题在欧洲的关键卫星导航系统中一直十分突出。
爱沙尼亚及其邻国芬兰指责俄罗斯在该地区空域干扰GPS导航设备，莫斯科否认了这些指控。2025年的一起事件涉及一架搭载西班牙国防部长的西班牙军用喷气式飞机。

WASHINGTON, Sept 21 (Reuters) – A government watchdog report on Monday shows communications between US air traffic controllers and commercial airplanes are “incredibly insecure” and the Federal Aviation Administration must take steps to address threats, Senator Ron Wyden said.
The Government Accountability Office said the FAA has not completed risk assessments and updated security documentation needed to address spoofing and jamming threats, and does not have a real-time detection capability for all spectrum-related threats.

“This sobering report from GAO reveals that the technology used by air traffic controllers to communicate with aircraft is incredibly insecure, can be intercepted, impersonated, and jammed, and that hackers and foreign governments can exploit these vulnerabilities to disrupt air travel and even put passengers at risk,” Wyden said.
The report said hackers could transmit fraudulent clearance cancellations or other messages to airplanes potentially leading to flight delays, airspace disruptions or safety issues.
Wyden added, the “FAA’s failure to require the aviation industry to use secure communications is a major threat to U.S. national security, to our economy and the safety of the flying public.”

The FAA did not immediately comment.
Two systems for sending messages to aircraft were developed before modern cybersecurity safeguards became commonplace and lack common encryption safeguards.
The FAA said in response to the report it agreed with GAO’s nine recommendations.
“As aircraft and flight operations become more interconnected, cyber and electromagnetic vulnerabilities pose increasing risks to critical systems, including air traffic control, data communications and avionics,” the FAA said.
Spoofing and jamming have been a big issue in Europe for critical satellite navigation systems.
Estonia and its neighbor Finland have blamed Russia for jamming GPS navigation devices in the region’s airspace, charges that Moscow has denied. One incident in 2025 involved a Spanish military jet with the country’s defense minister onboard.
