COPRA aviation security research roadmap

The EU funded project COPRA (Comprehensive European Approach to the Protection of Civil Aviation) developed a roadmap for future research activities, which could lead to a more resilient, flexible and comprehensive approach. Tackling 70 existing and potential threats to aviation (security) identified during the COPRA project, the research roadmap supports the drafting of national and European research agendas that intend to create the knowledge and the technologies to ensure secure aviation in the years to come. This paper presents the overall approach of COPRA and the resulting roadmap.
