Manufacturer Perspectives
In what ways is technology likely to enhance aviation security in the future? How will technology work in tandem with human factors to create safe and secure airports and airlines? We have invited some of the Managing Directors and Chief Executive Officers of leading suppliers of aviation security services and solutions to perform some realistic crystal-balling and answer the question…
How do you think technology might be utilised in the future to…
…enhance airside security?
…enhance airport access control?

I can see that, in the not too distant future, the development of Airport Access Control solutions will go hand in hand with the migration and development of these technologies into secure, intelligent mobile devices. Future access control will unify and fuse together identity management, location data, smart electronic devices, physical access devices and cyber protection into commonly used consumer smart phones.
The smart phone devices will have geo-location capabilities, network wireless access, custom applications, authentication software and voice capabilities. These will then be married to back office management systems via a combination of public and private networks to form an integrated intelligent access control system that can be securely managed. Besides the collection of these technologies to form an integrated smart phone solution which delivers a more unified passenger experience, the devices themselves will also allow the creation of better situational awareness for the passenger and airport and will facilitate the provision of forensic data for any security events.

The primary challenge in airside safety is ensuring the airside/landside border is not breached. All people have to pass through the security check points and all other exits should only permit movement from airside to landside and not the other way around. What if this border is breached? The next challenge is to track the person (even where there are no overlapping camera views) throughout the airport. It is important to establish the person’s identity, determine who that person interacts with and provide the information to the nearest security officer in real time so that the person can be quickly apprehended. If this cannot be done quickly and with a clear auditable track of exactly what the person did, a whole section of the airport may need to evacuated causing inconvenience to travellers and cost to airlines. The other challenge is automating the boarding of aircraft. For international flights it is important to reconcile the boarding pass with the passport of the traveller. Fortunately technologies for automating all of these things exist today and have already been successfully implemented in more forward-thinking airports. Of course the technologies are evolving and improving all the time but everything described above is possible today at a very affordable price.
