Service Technique de l'Aviation Civile (STAC)

Speaker Biograghy: Christophe works within the Security Department of the STAC, part of the French Civil Aviation Directorate. Since 2015 he has been in charge of the technical supervision of the Vision Sûreté programme launched by the French DGAC in collaboration with airports and security equipment manufacturers, to develop – and test in real conditions – new concepts of operation for security checkpoints. Christophe and the STAC security division are more generally involved in experimentation and evaluations of security equipment such as multiplexing of x-rays/EDS, shoe analysers for explosive detection, detection systems for large weapons and use of explosive detection dogs on people in mass transport areas.


Day 2 - 21 March

15:30 - 16:00 - The French approach to Centralised Image Processing at security checkpoints
Synopsis: Recently, some airports have been deploying a new way of using x-ray equipment: Centralised Image Processing (CIP). This allows the multiplexing of several pieces of x-ray equipment to give a more flexible approach to the operations. The French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC) has launched a national innovation programme named Vision Sûreté. Three airports (in Lyon, Paris and Toulouse) have run trials of CIP checkpoints since 2015. These trials were aimed at assessing the impact of CIP, from the perspectives of passengers and security officers, and within the scope of regulatory compliance. This session presents the evaluations that were conducted.
