ned an agreement to install EDS in Russia, India and Dubai at the cost of over $170 million (Airport technology, 2013).
Explosive detection system works on tomography computed technology, which has the capability to detect and trace the explosives in the baggage of passengers. (Wells et al, 2004). Schneier (2020) argues that the explosive detection machines have restricted capacity like the larger baggage could not fit into the machine. Alternative Explosive Trace Detection (ETD) machines are used to analyze the larger baggage where the conveyors are used (Oianmei, 2007). ETD has the capability to trace the vapor substances in the baggage. The Department of Transport has approved some of the ETD machines that are ACBX-LEDS V 3.2, ACBX-LEDS 6040 by smiths detection systems to be used in the airports (gov.uk, 2014).
Hussaini et al (2012) cites that the laser base explosive systems is the latest technology in civil aviation of Israel to screen the baggage with the help of lasers to detect the explosives with the time frame of less than 3 seconds. According to the technologist point of views it is framed as ‘high risk safety technology’ (Laser detect systems, 2014)
I would be discussing about the cyber security technologies in the Aviation. Cyber security is all about protecting confidential information. According to John. M (VP of cyber Tec) it is the tools and process to ensure the airports reliability and safety are not adversely impacted by the problems on the control networks. IATA (2014) says that the cyber security is the ‘Next Gen’ advanced...
