A system for the U.s. air traffic control several times on the runaway because the so-called eram system has too little ram it had. Especially complex flight plans would lead to ending systems.
At the beginning of this month became eram-systems of the air traffic control disrupted, with hundreds of delays and cancellations of flights as a result. The cause was a U2 spy plane. The plane would with its great height and complex flight plan, the eram software on lair have to do store. To ensure safety, it was decided to temporarily no air traffic in the airspace around Los Angeles.
Further research has shown that the problems with eram, which is built by Lockheed Martin, which is partly caused by the lack of computer memory. If the software is to complex flight plans to be processed, then the ram is full and the systems to crash, and then automatically reboots are carried out, so reports Reuters on the basis of two anonymous sources. In addition, there is a risk that the eram systems in a loop vent.
The problems with the eram system could be abused by an enemy, to be so unnoticed in the Us airspace to penetrate, but experts say that such an attack is quite complex to perform. There would now be working on the necessary fixes to the problems with eram to fix it.
