Day 1 - 14 March
Session: Aviation Security, Border Control & Facilitation

16:30 - 17:15 - Panel Discussion: From information to action – emerging technologies creating actionable intelligence
Synopsis: Threats to aviation are continuous and increasingly complex. Emerging technology enhances an airport's abilities to understand threats, manage resources and monitor operational tempo. These domain awareness technologies can make security more efficient and effective, as well as reducing cost. Multi-disciplinary information systems provide valuable data that can be leveraged for process improvements in a range of security and non-security systems. From video surveillance systems, to social media monitoring, to sensor data from the Internet of Things, airports are presented with a sea of information. This session will examine use of emerging technology and platforms for converting information to actionable intelligence.

Audience will learn:

• Participants will understand the nature of the changing threat and the need for emerging technology
• Participants will understand emerging technology trends in video surveillance; social, location and mobile technologies; and the Internet of Things
• Participants will understand that emerging technology for domain awareness programmes can drive security efficiency and effectiveness as well as cost reductions
• Participants will learn how emerging technology for domain awareness can impact a range of diverse airport processes and functions
