What is a CISP?
Answer
The common information service provider (CISP) is a service provider providing the necessary information for the functioning of U-space. The CISP ensures that the information comes from trusted sources and that it is of sufficient quality, integrity and accuracy as well as security so that the USSPs and other users such as ASNPs can use this information with full reliability when providing their services. There is only one CIS provider per U-space airspace to ensure that there is one single point of contact, one single point of truth that consolidates all the information necessary for the functioning of the U-space airspace. The CISP ensures that all the information can be exchanged between the various organisations to fulfil their obligations. A CIS provider cannot be a USSP itself.
