Perimeter protection for airports with intelligent video surveillance

October 31, 2019

The security of a critical site rests on two pillars: design and protection. Airports are commonly considered part of a nation’s critical infrastructure and are required to limit intrusion risks by implementing suitable security solutions, often as part of a structured and layered approach incorporating physical barriers, intrusion detection solutions, access control and mobile security patrols. The measures used to protect an airport’s restricted areas must, of course, consider both the threat and the operating requirements, in particular aviation easements, the topography of the terrain, specific climatic conditions and environmental constraints. This whitepaper aims to explain some of the current options for protecting airports and gives an insight into the technology behind the solutions.

AERONAUTICS R&D POLICY PLATFORM PAPER

whitePaper | November 18, 2022

For over a century, aeronautics research and development (R&D) has been a vital part of the foundation of U.S. economic prosperity and is a critical asset for maintaining our national security and defense. The aviation industry could not be more important to our nation’s economic engine and our interconnectedness to the world. Aeronautics-related R&D is the foundation upon which this healthy industry has been built.

Shipping Aircraft Tire Assemblies by Air

whitePaper | December 15, 2019

Serviceable tire assemblies are considered dangerous since they are typically inflated to high pressure. Essentially, when tire assemblies are shipped by air, the pressure inside the tire increases once the plane reaches altitude. This rise in pressure could cause an over-inflated tire to explode in the cargo hold and compromise the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aircraft tires that are not mounted on the rim are not considered dangerous as they are not under pressure and do not pose a safety hazard.
