INTEGRITY Security Services Device Management Dashboard (DMD) Service Provides the V2X /C2X Ecosystem with End-to-End OBU & RSU Visibility for Better Network Management

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — INTEGRITY Security Services (ISS) today announced its Security Credential Management System (SCMS) add-on Device Management Dashboard Service (DMD). The ISS Certificate Management Service (CMS) DMD Service is another first for the vehicle-to-everything (V2X), cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) and car-to-everything (C2X) markets globally. The CMS Device Management Dashboard Service provides the industry’s first end-to-end management dashboard to visualize any On-Board Unit (OBU) or Roadside Unit (RSU) being provisioned by the ISS CMS. In use today in Connected Vehicle (CV) Pilot programs, the ISS DMD Service provides visibility into the interactions that OBUs and RSUs have with the ISS CMS, providing a rich set of reports and detailed auditing information to help fleet, infrastructure owner-operator (IOO), and Department of Transportation (DOT) operators with C-V2X, V2X and C2X security rollouts and deployments. The CMS DMD Service enhances the features of the ISS CMS, which provides certificates to OBUs and RSUs used in USDOT CV Pilots and other state and local V2X dedicated short-range communications (DSRC) and C-V2X programs.

As the leading provider of the national SCMS Service for C-V2X and V2X systems, ISS is continuing to build out operational solutions to secure the V2X ecosystem to help assure its secure and reliable operation as a safety-critical system. The ISS DMD Service is essential to ensuring the integrity of the information in the V2X ecosystem because it provides traffic management centers with the ability to monitor, track, and manage security certificates for any device on their networks. The DMD Service not only gives traffic management centers the confidence in the accuracy of the data they are seeing, but it also provides unprecedented visibility to troubleshoot any network issues they may have. Both the ISS CMS and the ISS DMD Service are designed to provide these services on a scalable and efficient international level.

«The promise of the V2X ecosystem is to save lives while reducing accidents and congestion. Ensuring that global V2X, C-V2X and C2X systems are secure and provide reliable data is essential. The ISS Device Management Dashboard Service is a critical component for device and certificate management to ensure all elements in DOT safety-critical networks are secure,» says David Sequino, Co-Founder and President of INTEGRITY Security Services. «We are pleased to offer this service to federal, state, and local DOTs.»

«Neaera works on multiple connected vehicle projects. Having OBU and RSU certificate management visibility in real time fills a critical gap in our solutions to keep our CAV devices and infrastructure up and running,» says Tony English, Owner of Neaera Consulting Group. «Certificate management and visibility of network issues have been a challenge for our state and local DOT clients. The ISS CMS DMD Service is a game-changer allowing us to fill this gap. For the first time, this solution gives us much needed visibility while ensuring the integrity of our connected vehicle networks.»

Ontario International Airport earns triple crown honors for dedication to customers during pandemic

ONTARIO, Calif., Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — For the second time in less than a month and third time since September, Southern California’s Ontario International Airport (ONT) was recognized for dedication to its customers during the COVID-19 pandemic and continuing to deliver a high-quality customer service experience, a significant achievement given the impact of the pandemic on global air travel.

<div…

The «Voice of the Customer» honor bestowed by Airports Council International (ACI) World, the leading trade association for airports worldwide, recognizes airports which continued to «prioritize their customers and remained committed to ensuring that their voice was heard during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.»

According to ACI, ONT made significant efforts in gathering passenger feedback which enabled the Inland Empire airport to gain a deeper understanding of its customers’ needs and expectations while delivering a superior customer experience under trying circumstances.

«For much of the past year, we have operated in unchartered territory, but our team of professionals adjusted course, connected with passengers and remained focused on delivering the first-rate airport experience our customers have come to expect,» said Mark Thorpe, chief executive officer of the Ontario International Airport Authority.

«At the onset of the pandemic, we quickly enhanced protocols to keep our passenger facilities clean, adopted protocols in consultation with public health authorities and worked tirelessly to reassure our customers that they are safe in our airport.

«We are grateful for the loyalty of our customers and recognition from leaders in our industry,» Thorpe added.

The latest honor completes a triple crown for ONT for its work to engage customers, enhance airport procedures and continue to deliver excellence in customer service in the midst of ongoing challenges never before experienced by the aviation industry.

In January, the Montreal-based ACI recognized ONT with The Airport Health Accreditation, for providing a safe airport experience for all travelers in line with recommended health measures and helping to reassure the travelling public that precautions are being taken to reduce any risk to their health.

Last September, ONT earned ACI’s prestigious Customer Service Experience Accreditation for its ability to identify and understand the needs and expectations of airline passengers and airport visitors, all the while enhancing the customer service experience. The Southern California aviation gateway was one of just nine airports in North America – and the only Los Angeles-area airport – to earn the distinction.

About Ontario International Airport
Ontario International Airport (ONT) is the fastest growing airport in the United States, according to Global Traveler, a leading publication for frequent fliers. Located in the Inland Empire, ONT is approximately 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in the center of Southern California. It is a full-service airport which, before the coronavirus pandemic, offered nonstop commercial jet service to 26 major airports in the U.S., Mexico and Taiwan. More information is available at www.flyOntario.com. Follow @flyONT on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

About the Ontario International Airport Authority (OIAA)
The OIAA was formed in August 2012 by a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Ontario and the County of San Bernardino to provide overall direction for the management, operations, development and marketing of ONT for the benefit of the Southern California economy and the residents of the airport’s four-county catchment area. OIAA Commissioners are Ontario Mayor Pro Tem Alan D. Wapner (President), Retired Riverside Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge (Vice President), Ontario City Council Member Jim W. Bowman (Secretary), San Bernardino County Supervisor Curt Hagman (Commissioner) and retired business executive Julia Gouw (Commissioner).

American Flyers Receives First Piper Pilot 100I Aircraft

ADDISON, Texas, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — National flight school, American Flyers, has received the first eight Pilot 100i aircraft from manufacturer, Piper Aircraft, Inc., adding to their already extensive line of training aircraft.

As the global leader in aviation education, American Flyers was the first to offer instrument training and introduce flight simulators into its training programs. American Flyers knew this aircraft was the right choice because of the avionics platform, which showcases both glass and round dial presentation, helping to increase situational awareness and reduce the potential dependence on automation, further highlighting back to basics mentality.

Mike Bliss, the Chairman of the American Flyers National Safety Board, explained «This airplane will enable us to maintain our policy of «round dial» training for the Private Pilot Certificate and the first half of the instrument rating. It creates a stronger pilot by reinforcing the basic skills and foundations necessary to become a safe and proficient pilot.»

When asked his thoughts on adding the Piper Pilot 100i to the training program, American Flyers’ National Chief Pilot, Steven Daun, said «The Piper Pilot 100i is the perfect mix of simplicity and technology. The G3X avionics suite is the only glass platform that allows for toggling between round dial and tape displays in a touchscreen format. This outperformed the G1000 suite on so many levels and was the primary reason we selected the Pilot 100i.»

American Flyers is the industry leader in flight education, and one of few civilian flight schools that trained military pilots during World War II. American Flyers operates six training facilities across Arizona, New Jersey, Florida and Texas. Educators and instructors work with over 2,500 students each year. In addition to onsite education, American Flyers offers initial and recurrency training courses via our locations and online.

HOUSTON, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bristow Group Inc. (NYSE: VTOL) (the «Company») announced today that it has commenced, subject to market conditions and other factors, a private offering of $400 million aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2028 (the «notes») to eligible purchasers pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the «Securities Act»).

<div class="PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference"…

The notes are expected to pay interest semi-annually and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior secured basis, by the Company’s existing material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and certain existing material wholly owned foreign subsidiaries, as well as certain future subsidiaries. The notes will be secured by first priority liens, subject to limited exceptions, on collateral that will consist of certain helicopters and related assets, together with substantially all of the other tangible and intangible property assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantors (other than certain excluded assets), including approximately 93 pledged aircraft.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering of the notes, together with cash on hand, to repay its secured equipment term loan with approximately $152.0 million outstanding with Macquarie Bank Limited and its term loans with approximately $203.9 million outstanding with PK AirFinance S.à R.L. (collectively, the «Term Loans») and to redeem and retire all of its outstanding 7.750% Senior Notes due 2022 with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $132.0 million outstanding (the «7.750% Senior Notes»). In connection with the closing of the offering, the Company intends to terminate the term loan credit agreements relating to the Term Loans. The offering of the notes is not conditioned on the redemption of the 7.750% Senior Notes or the repayment of the Term Loans.

The notes will be offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and outside the United States to non-U.S. persons pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The offer and sale of the notes and the related subsidiary guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase these notes nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

The Company intends to finance the redemption of the 7.750% Senior Notes with a portion of the net proceeds from the offering of the notes. The Company’s obligation to redeem the 7.750% Senior Notes is conditioned upon the consummation, on or prior to the redemption, of a financing transaction that results in net cash proceeds in an amount at least sufficient to pay the redemption price, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts owing under the indenture governing the 7.750% Senior Notes. The Company will publicly announce and notify the holders of the 7.750% Senior Notes and the trustee for the 7.750% Senior Notes if any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, whereupon the redemption will be revoked and the 7.750% Senior Notes will remain outstanding.

EnGIS Technologies joins the Uptane project further strengthening its Over-The-Air (OTA) cybersecurity

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — EnGIS Technologies, a leading supplier of automotive software solutions, announced today that it has joined the Uptane project under the Joint Development Foundation. EnGIS has already begun work on integrating the Uptane framework into its EnAIR Over-The-Air (OTA) software management platform. This step further strengthens EnGIS’ comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, which already supports several software update security systems and protocols….

Integrating the Uptane framework will enable EnGIS to ensure safe and secure software updates delivered over-the-air to ECUs and systems in vehicles. The framework, now considered the de facto standard in the automotive industry for secure software updates, can fend off cyber-attacks from those aiming to compromise critical servers and networks that are used to sign and deliver software updates.

«Protecting software updates from attack is absolutely critical given the threat landscape in the modern world,» said Justin Cappos, member of the Board of Directors of the Uptane project and professor at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering. «We are happy to have EnGIS Technologies among the group automotive suppliers that provide Uptane as a way to combat cyberthreats.»

Utilizing the Uptane framework is part of EnGIS’ wider strategy to meet the upcoming WP.29 regulation. In June 2020, the United Nations adopted new regulations aimed at supporting the development of connected and highly-automated vehicles. This is the first time that automotive OEMs will need to meet strict requirements on how they provide secure over-the-air update capability.

Dr Pyungsun Park, lead architect of EnAIR OTA at EnGIS, said that «working together with key players in industry and academia is key to effective cybersecurity. With the ever-increasing use of software in vehicles, coupled with the rise of connected cars, OEMs are moving quickly to implement over-the-air update capability, while being mindful of the emerging regulation and standards coming into force. EnGIS has been providing OTA updates since 2014 and is recognized as one of the first OTA service providers to support production vehicles. As such, EnGIS is well positioned to enable automakers to deliver highly secure updates, as well as help meet their compliance obligations under WP.29.»
