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

12:00 - 12:50 - Panel Discussion: Concept to deployment: the lifecycle of explosives detection
Synopsis: As new threats to aviation assets are discovered, new technologies are constantly being developed to thwart these developments. But at what cost, and how quickly can they be brought to market and be incrementally more effective while common standards throughout the EU and the rest of the world are constantly changing? This roundtable of explosives detection equipment manufacturers and industry experts will discuss the journey through the regulatory and acquisitions process, and the nuances of bringing new capabilities to fruition, from theory to development, testing and implementation.

Audience will learn:

• Internal R&D funding hindrances juxtaposed with outside funding constraints
• Challenges with the EU and US regulatory procurement processes
• Incremental, phased implementation of solutions with evolving requirements
• Speed, throughput and efficiency vs. detection capability
• Innovative opportunities for checkpoint and inline checked baggage inspection systems
