…enhance the screening process?


ALYSIA M. SAGI-DOLEV, PHD, FOUNDER AND CEO, QYLUR SECURITY SYSTEMS, USA


In today’s rapidly changing security situation, where the enemy is often unseen, and with threats continuously evolving, technology plays a role alongside policies and operations, to ensure safety and normality is maintained. If passengers are divesting items and holding their arms up like criminals, then the terrorists have won by fundamentally changing our core values. Technology can be used to protect both life itself and our fundamental way of life. No single-function sensor or stand-alone scanning system


can provide the solution on its own. We must harness the power of fused sensors to achieve significantly better threat detection, which will augment human visual inspection capabilities, and even exceed them altogether. It is necessary to integrate all our assets into a smart, cohesive system, connecting the dots to create a holistic, intelligent situational map. And it is necessary to understand how to harness the strengths and talents of the human factor in order to get the best out of the technologies deployed.


By adopting detection technologies that use fusion, multi- sensor integration, and cross-system communications, we will significantly enhance passenger security throughout the entire travel process, from registration and check-in to in-line baggage screening and boarding, whilst creating a safer, faster, and friendlier experience.

…enhance baggage screening?


MARCO TACCANI GILARDONI, GILARDONI S.P.A, ITALY


Our vision is that systems will need to be less intrusive and with conops designed to allow greater throughput. Shape and material recognition/discrimination will be a standard feature. These ‘intelligent’ systems will be part of a network that will include multiple sources of information and will adapt their ‘probing’ capacity to the risk level assessed in any given location: they will also be calibrated in accordance with expected passenger/aircraft movements and the actual geo-political situation.


Human intervention/decisions will only be needed following a warning generated by equipment; the follow-up procedure may well be taken remotely. Systems will include multiple technologies in order to respond to the range of different threats and dangers.


The design, functionality and cost (including cost of ownership) should aim to minimise negative social impact, and will comply with harmonised regulatory requirements and testing methodologies. Use of existing information, fused and reassembled throughout the system network, should be routine.


I have to add that it's our opinion that a crystal ball is useless unless the legislators and regulators indicate what they can see in the crystal ball. Technology can be quite creative, but if there are no clear requirements, the industry vision will end up being costly and ineffective.
