Video Based System and Method for Improving Aircraft Security

摘要

In late September of 2001 the Commercial Airline Pilots Association (CAPA) endorsed president Bush's plan for improved airline security but expressed concern that it did not address many critical issues. The 26,000 pilots represented by the member unions of CAPA studied the possibility of many additional security options for the airline industry. This report discusses those options and military applications, including one which includes cameras that collect images of the cabin interior that would be placed throughout the passenger cabin of the aircraft.
