Software Project
FAST
Framework for Avionics Security Testing abstracts low-level protocol, hardware, and vendor complexity so cyber testers can rapidly identify, validate, and report vulnerabilities.
Avionics Security Testing
Focuses cyber testing on aircraft and weapons contexts.
Hardware Abstraction
Reduces low-level interface and vendor complexity.
Scripting Interface
Supports flexible test adaptation.
Vulnerability Reporting
Helps testers validate and communicate findings.
Mission Need
Maximize limited cyber test windows.
Aircraft and weapons cyber testers often have limited time on target systems. Tools that reduce hardware, protocol, and vendor friction help testers focus on finding and validating vulnerabilities.
What It Does
Abstracts complex test interfaces into a usable process.
FAST provides a modular testing framework with user, hardware, and scripting interfaces that help testers interact with target systems through consistent tooling.
Why It Matters
Empowers testers during high-value assessments.
By reducing tool friction and capturing test activity, FAST helps teams validate vulnerabilities, adapt during testing, and report findings more efficiently.
