TSA Backs New Open Architecture Initiative For Airport Security Systems

摘要

Airport operators and regulators worldwide on Thursday published a paper in support of seeking open architectures for airport security systems to improve interoperability, enable innovation and expand competition. The paper was endorsed by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, which reviewed a draft in the spring and contributed to the foreword. "Through this initiative we commit to working with our partners to open our hardware and in doing so, broaden the market and safely provide new entry paths for collaborators, TSA Administrator David Pekoske, John Holland-Kaye, CEO of London's Heathrow Airport, and Olivier Jankovec, director general of Airports Council International Europe, wrote in the foreword. "Today, we welcome a new class of partner; tomorrows software developers to join us in the development and delivery of world leading threat detection software and help us defeat terrorism."
