God knows what it'll be like with even more. Assuming NATs can handle it which isn't a given as it seems from 2019 they'll be doing London Citys remote control tower - no one at home, just video feeds down a presumably "secure" link. What could possibly go wrong? Actually three separate secure links. And how do you know the current one in use hasn't been compromised and is feeding duff data or video? Or failing that a contractor cuts through the cables by mistake. If the cable has been cut through then you won't get any picture. I suspect even someone from the CAA might notice that. I suspect hackers would be somewhat subtler than just blanking the picture. What risks? Its a triple redundancy system as used by aircraft. Whether the controllers re staring out of the windows or at screens makes no odds. In fact the latter can be better as night vision cameras can give you a better visual image after dark. Right, because you couldn't possibly do any of that in the control tower. And since when did security cameras have the same viewing field as the human eye thats carried around in a skull and can look in any direction almost instantly including vertically down? You also have the possibility of overlaying relevant information on the screens such as tagging the image of each aircraft with its flight details. See above. -- Spud |
