Christmas greetings from Rudolph and Santa Claus by b.r.m. IT & Aerospace

Christmas greetings from b.r.m. IT & Aerospace

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear friends and colleagues,

Santa Claus and his faithful reindeer have long since completed their integration into our airspace and the children are once again waiting for his arrival.

There has also been a lot of work on integration in unmanned aviation this year and perhaps we will soon be able to make it easier for Rudolph and his buddies to work in the Christmas airspace.

As 2023 draws to a close, I would like to give you a brief review of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) highlights that have moved us:

The AERO aviation trade fair took place in Friedrichshafen from April 19-22, 2023. With the joint stand "Specific Made in Bremen" and numerous partners, we were able to comprehensively present the capacities and activities in Bremen and northern Germany. Please take a look.

The 54th Paris Air Show took place in early summer. In close cooperation with the stakeholders of "Bremen - City of Aerospace", we were able to present the topic "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)" to a European and international audience and enjoyed the lively exchange on UTM, ATM and other topics. You can find a short insight here.

The 13th National Maritime Conference in Bremen on September 14 and 15, 2023 presented a wide range of innovations for the maritime world. Here we were able to shed extensive light on the cross-cutting topic of unmanned aviation in a maritime context. Impressions

Over the course of the year, we won the SKADRO project (Scalable Drone Communication Systems for U-Space Areas) and are currently in the middle of implementing it together with our partners from the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute and TU Berlin.Find out more.

Back in May, we were able to test the project idea "U-Space Reallabor Nord-Westdeutschland und Deutsche Bucht & UAS-Leitstelle Bremen (USSP)" with an initial launch around our Hatten-UAS German Flight Center at Oldenburg-Hatten airfield (EDWH).

As part of a comprehensive permit, we now have 3600 km² of flying area available for BVLOS operations.(Details)

This approval has also been granted for 2024 and we are looking forward to more exciting UAS campaigns in the new year.

b.r.m. IT & Aerospace wishes you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Advanced Air Mobility" (AAM)

"Advanced Air Mobility" (AAM) refers to an advanced transportation system that uses airspace to move people and goods more efficiently.
This concept encompasses a variety of aircraft, including UAS, drones, air cabs and other types of unmanned and manned aircraft and systems.

Advanced Air Mobility

Here are some key aspects of Advanced Air Mobility:

Electric and hybrid propulsion systems: Many AAM vehicles use electric or hybrid propulsion systems. These are not only more environmentally friendly than traditional combustion engines, but also enable quieter and more efficient flights.

Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL): The majority of AAM vehicles are designed for vertical take-off and landing. This enables them to operate in urban or confined spaces where conventional fixed-wing aircraft cannot be used.

Autonomy: Many AAM concepts include some degree of autonomy. Autonomous or semi-autonomous flight systems can reduce the need for human pilots and increase safety by reducing human error.

Integration into the urban space: AAM aims to integrate seamlessly into existing and future urban transportation systems. This includes the development of infrastructure such as vertiports and integration into existing transportation systems.

Regulation and safety: Safety is a key concern in the development of AAM. This requires new regulatory frameworks and safety standards to be developed by aviation authorities worldwide.

Areas of application: AAM could be used in a variety of areas, including passenger transportation, delivery services, emergency medical services and more.

Areas of application: AAM could be used in a variety of areas, including passenger transportation, delivery services, emergency medical services and more.

Advanced Air Mobility is still in the early stages of development, but it has the potential to fundamentally change the way we travel and transport goods, especially in urban areas.

From the perspective of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace GmbH with the Bremen USSP UAS control center, "Advanced Air Mobility" involves the integration of manned and unmanned systems.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Markus Rossol.

Data backup

Mail archiving according to GDPR

Nowadays, electronic archiving of emails and documents is the order of the day. In Germany, GDPR-compliant archiving is required by law. A distinction is made between audit-proof and legally compliant archiving.

Archiving according to GDPR

Audit security and legal certainty

As a rule, audit-proof systems are archiving systems that comply with tax and commercial law requirements and are verifiable in this respect. The information from the systems should be retrievable, traceable, unalterable and tamper-proof. For example, it enables tax authorities to check emails or other documents from the past in order to clarify facts. This means that the entire archiving process, including the technical components, must be checked beforehand, otherwise the user companies will not have any legal certainty for their archiving systems.

However, legal certainty includes accuracy, completeness, security of the overall procedure, protection against alteration and falsification, security against loss, use only by authorized persons, compliance with retention periods, documentation of the procedure, traceability and verifiability. Only when these categories are fulfilled after a practical test is the archiving system legally secure. Legal certainty is therefore a combination of audit compliance, the GDPR and other compliance rules.

Problem

GDPR-compliant archiving is mandatory for the user company and is properly audited. However, audit compliance is only part of complete legal certainty. This means, for example, that a user company may use a product with software that suggests audit compliance on the basis of a sticker but cannot actually guarantee it. This may be due to various components. This is precisely the core problem with legally compliant archiving. Revision security appears to be given in theory, but must first be proven in practice. Compliance can only be verified once the complete archiving system, consisting of the technology, organization, processes and trained employees, has been fully implemented. Legal certainty cannot therefore be guaranteed at the time of purchase, but only afterwards through a corresponding review of the complete system.

If you have any questions about GDPR-compliant archiving solutions and how we can support you with implementation, please feel free to contact Harald Rossol, founder and managing director of b.r.m. IT & Aerospace.

IT trends: edge computing, data protection and security

Security and data protection are still among the top IT trends. However, there is also a new trend: edge computing.

IT trends: edge computing, data protection and security

Edge computing

Edge computing is one of the latest IT trends. In terms of data processing, it is the opposite of cloud computing. While cloud computing relies on a central data center, edge computing relocates the services, data, etc. close to the user. The calculations involved were initially carried out by the data center itself. However, in order to process the data streams in the data center as resource-efficiently as possible, the services, data, etc. were moved to the edge.

This allows data to be processed in real time and minimizes latency and load times. However, challenges must be overcome. With a cloud, the highest security standards and regular vulnerability checks have top priority. It therefore offers a higher level of data security than decentralized processing, as each operator is responsible for the security of their own device. Further information on edge computing can be found here.

Data protection and IT security

With the rapid increase in the use of data processing, the issue of security and data protection is becoming increasingly important. The significant breaches in 2021 clearly showed the damage caused by a lack of IT security. The threat of potential hacker attacks is real. It is therefore all the more important to maintain your own IT security by continuously checking and maintaining it.

The successful fulfillment of the topics of data protection (GDPR), security and energy efficiency form the basis for the IT service provider b.r.m. With a GDPR-compliant and Green IT-certified data center, we offer our customers an all-encompassing 24-hour service. For more than 30 years, we have been taking care of digitalization with our excellent IT service. With our multifaceted efforts, we try to stand out from other IT service providers and be unique in the industry.

Cloud computing technology and online data storage in innovative perception

Cloud infrastructure

Cloud services are being used more and more frequently and intensively. It is important to know what a cloud is and how a cloud is structured.

Cloud infrastructure

How this infrastructure is structured

In short, the infrastructures create multiple external storage locations. A cloud infrastructure essentially consists of four different components. These include the hardware, virtualization, storage and the network.

Hardware is the physical elements of a cloud infrastructure. These include, for example, servers, routers, switches and much more. These can be in different locations.

Virtualization then connects the servers with each other. The software, which is located on the physical hardware, centralizes the computer's resources in so-called pools.

The data is then stored in storage rows on the numerous disks in a data center. Software is used to create a new backup and the outdated backup is removed. This ensures that data is retained in the event of a power failure, for example.

The last component of the cloud infrastructure is divided into physical and virtual networks. The physical part includes cables, switches and other devices. The virtual networks are built on the basis of the physical networks.

Cloud computing

The cloud infrastructure is the prerequisite for cloud computing. It provides IT resources via the internet. In addition, there are various models, which are explained in detail here. As this model can be described as an external location, the payload that was previously uploaded can be accessed by the user at any time.

Clouds are being used more and more frequently because they are very flexible and offer a large amount of storage space. However, cloud services are also a popular target for hacker attacks due to the amount of data they contain. Furthermore, the various cloud platforms are very questionable in terms of data protection. At b.r.m., our customers' data is optimally secured with the help of our GDPR and Green IT-certified data center. We also have a data protection officer who will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
