MITRE now offers an open-source version of its Aviation Risk Identification and Assessment software suite, OpenARIA. This initiative is dedicated to enhancing aviation safety and efficiency through the active involvement of the aviation community.

The first prototype of ARIA was developed for the Federal Aviation Administration in collaboration with the FAA's Safety and Technical Training service unit Quality Assurance group, and it was introduced in October 2020.

OpenARIA. OpenARIA offers a publicly available solution for detecting airborne aviation safety encounters utilizing aircraft location data and aggregates those risks for bulk analysis to collect community feedback to improve the overall system and make valuable improvements to the code.

"The safety level of today's flight operations reflects a continual improvement in performance, technologies, and procedures. The goal of all aviation stakeholders is to make this system even safer. OpenARIA is an opportunity for those stakeholders to contribute to doing just that," notes Greg Tennille, managing director for transportation safety at MITRE's Center for Advanced Aviation System Development.

"OpenARIA is one of the tools we're using to generate safety intelligence to prevent aviation accidents as we move toward automatically detecting events."

"Despite its potential, OpenARIA faces challenges such as ensuring data privacy and security, managing real-time data processing's technical complexity, and gaining broad industry and regulatory acceptance. Overcoming these challenges will require a concerted effort from developers, security experts, regulatory bodies, and the aviation community," security researcher Santiago Holley told Help Net Security.
