Cutting-edge security solutions including a millimeter-wave imaging system that detects contraband on passengers in seconds and a matchbox-sized explosives detection kit and airport infrastructure solutions that improve efficiency and the passenger experience are among the most sought-after products and services at the expo.
Saudi Arabia’s King Abdulaziz International Airport is currently undergoing a $20 billion overhaul aimed at transforming it into the region’s second-largest airport by 2035.
ACR Gulf, who are showcasing both the Brijot Millimeter Wave Passive Imaging System and the System-2 explosives detection kits for the first time in the Middle East, said that security solutions are among the most sought-after products for airports around the world.
“Airport security worldwide needs innovation to handle rising passenger numbers and the increased incidence of threats,” said Ashley Reeve, Managing Director, ACR Gulf. “Today’s solutions are able to screen inbound and outbound traffic and employees efficiently and safely.”
“The Brijot MMW Passive Imaging System, which creates a two-dimensional silhouette of passengers within seconds, is able to detect all types of contraband including explosives, liquids, gels, currency and narcotics, without infringing on health or privacy concerns,” Reeve added. The Brijot system is certified by the Department of Homeland Security in the United States as an anti-terrorism device and is currently being evaluated in the Middle East.
Performance-based navigation systems are also among the top priorities for Gulf airport operators limited by airspace restrictions mandated by governments across the region. Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports, on Tuesday said airspace development is the single largest challenge to the growth of aviation in the region. More than 50 per cent of UAE airspace, for example, is controlled by the military.
Performance-based navigation and other emerging technological advances will also allow the region’s air traffic controllers, airlines and airports to get more out of the current airspace, he added.
Bob Everest, Flight Operations Support, Emirates, said an airspace review is desperately needed for the UAE and the GCC region. The 9th Dubai Airport Show continues until May 21 at the Dubai Airport Expo. — abdulbasit@khaleejtimes.com
