Panel discussion: Passing the test – strategies for measuring and evaluating aviation security

The growing availability of technological solutions to support security operations presents aviation security professionals and their organizations with a dizzying array of choices. The speed at which technology to support security operations is developing and using the internet to link solutions places significant pressure on airports and airlines in the selection of technology. Independent third-party evaluations of technology and standards development programs offer a path forward for preparing specifications to select technology and evaluating its function before making procurement decisions. This panel of airport and airline personnel and professionals from independent third-party organizations will evaluate these programs.

The audience will learn:

• Understanding through case studies how airports have built programs for developing specifications and evaluating emerging technologies
• Understanding the value of third-party standards development programs like RTCA to assist airports and airlines with standards for aviation
• Understanding the value of third-party standards testing programs offered to help airports evaluate
• Understanding how to access resources for developing specifications and evaluating security technologies

Panel discussion: What's on your mind and what changes are in the pipeline?

This final open discussion will focus on what's been happening over the past year that affects aviation security, with thoughts on what we can do about it.
