SECURITY PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION
Recent stringent federal security regulations, federal oversight of passenger
screening functions, and federal mandate for the use of explosives detection
systems (EDS) have created unprecedented challenges for U.S. airport sponsors.
These recent requirements, and the strict compliance deadlines mandated by Congress
and the U.S. Department of Transportation, require a fundamental rethinking of
terminal design, passenger inspection, baggage handling, and airport perimeter
security.
Jacobs Consultancy leads multidisciplinary teams of experts that can assist
airport sponsors in responding quickly with an integrated approach to the planning,
design, and implementation of airport security improvements. To complement our
in-house capabilities, we work with specialists in baggage handling, new inspection
technologies, and structural engineering and with former FAA security managers
to provide our clients with a comprehensive approach to meeting the latest security
challenges.
Jacobs Consultancy understands the full range of security technologies, and
can advise on performance specifications, infrastructure requirements, and expected
real-world performance. We assist our clients in understanding the effects of
proposed security-related changes on passenger service levels using leading-edge
simulation modeling.
Our experience in airport security planning and implementation also includes
the planning of the world's most secure new airport terminal at Ben Gurion International
Airport in Tel Aviv. |
