Advances in Aviation Security Technologies

 
The U.S. Government’s realization that the 9/11 tragedy could have been averted if a foolproof airport security system had been in place, is likely to play a huge role in popularizing biometric technologies. As opposed to traditional means of identification such as photographs or ID badges that are susceptible to being stolen or forged, biometric techniques identify people by their unique physical characteristics such as iris patterns, fingerprints, and/or facial recognition. Such a system is highly accurate and almost completely negates the possibilities of identification errors due to impersonation.

This research service examines a number of commercially available biometric technologies that are deployed at major international airports and hubs within the United States. It also critically evaluates the pilot programs that incorporate biometric measurements into passports and travel documents. Further, analysis of the technological trends, drivers, challenges, and recent developments enables participants to identify potential collaborators, to stay ahead of the competition, and to stay abreast of critical developments in their industries.
