Programme will deliver a step change in aviation
security through innovative science and technology.
It will improve our ability to prevent terrorist attacks on
aviation and have a positive impact on the aviation
industry and passenger experience

Introduce yourself;
Before you hear about the call itself, what I would like to do is situate it in the wider context of the Future Aviation Security Solutions - known as FASS - research programme, so you can see what your work will be contributing towards;
And I will hopefully be able to give you a better insight into the FASS programme as a whole:
Why the FASS programme exists;
What it is focused on;
Who is involved;
Our FASS team Leader will then explain in a little more detail How we plan to go about delivering it
FASS was formed from the 2015 SDSR (Strategic defence and security review) commitment to doubling spend on aviation security;
What is SDSR? Sets out the government’s National Security Strategy for the coming 5 years, and how it will be implemented.
Part of the 2015 SDSR commitment was to invest in innovative science & technology and research & development;
Important event last month in the unanimous vote on the UN Security Council Resolution on Aviation security – this sets out the context well:
That terrorists are actively seeking ways to defeat or circumvent aviation security;
That States should maximise the promotion of new technologies and innovative techniques.
There couldn’t be a stronger mandate for change and a good platform for staring this
*Emphasise main points in vision*
About preventing weapons, explosives and other threats from getting on to an aircraft in any way possible. Including:
Hand luggage
Hold luggage
On a person
Cargo
In flight supplies
Fuel etc
I can not stress enough how interested we are in your ideas
And finally Who?
Point 1 - This programme is an innovative approach to delivery – joint Departmental team in DFT TSCOR and HO OSCT
Point 2 - The Defence and Security Accelerator – which is what the CDE has begun its transition into; and
Joint Security and Resilience Centre (JSARC)
Point 3 - We will work in partnership with both the Aviation Industry, and the supply-side to deliver benefits to the Government, the Aviation industry and to the passenger, while promoting the innovative technologies that you develop
Point 4 – And we have plans in place to work with other International initiatives such as US Screening at Speed and IATA/ACI Smart Security
We strive to work seamlessly across the different organisations responsible for the UK’s response to the threat to aviation, and the range of organisations collaborating on this initiative reflects that. Today we hope you will see this programme represents a unique opportunity to progress towards the future of detection and screening in aviation security.
There are a number of representatives from the collaborating departments here today, and we encourage you to engage and make maximum use of them today as you will rarely find the operational, technical and policy experts in this area in one room together! So if you get to a point today where you feel like you are not getting new or needed information, please do approach them.
I also feel very encouraged to see representation from so many different potential providers of innovative solutions from different sectors – please do make use of the breaks to meet one another, discuss the issues, and make informal and formal partnerships.
I hope you enjoy the day and will learn something new that will spark off some creative new solutions to the challenges we will present to you.
I would now like to introduce FASS Team Leader who will describe how this is going to all be delivered.
