EXAMPLE # 1
Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport –
Master Systems Integrator
NASS and its project partners assigned a team of 15 Security experts and engineers, as well as numerous sub contractors and their personnel to support the design team of the new terminal in Detroit airport in the design and implementation phase of the new terminal.
Due to budget limitation the airport contracted the team to review the design of all security and safety system and provide input that will optimize the design to maximize efficiency and save cost.
The scope includes:
· Security Systems- CCTV, Access control, command and control
· Telecommunication Systems
· Audio Visual & Paging Systems
· Mechanical & Electrical Systems, incl. Fire Protection Systems
· Baggage Handling Systems
The goal of this review is to provide input and detailed recommendations to the airport and the design team in order to:
· Maximize safety and security
· Minimize total cost of ownership
· Maximize passenger convenience
· Maximize operational flexibility
· Maximize revenues
· Maximize Design efficiency and flexibility
· Maximize the usage of legacy systems with new installed system
· Maximize the efficiency of Procurement phase
· Maximize systems integration configuration
· Minimize Operations & Maintenance
EXAMPLE # 2
Suvarnabhumi Bangkok International Airport (SBIA)
The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) provided a grant to THAI Airways International Public Company Limited to facilitate technical assistance for a threat assessment and security implementation plan for THAI Airways operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport. THAI Airways hired NASS to analyze threats, define security requirements, design all security systems, issue bid document and implementation supervision.
The scope entailed:
Task 1: Perform Threat Assessment
Task 2: Perform Security Audit and Prepare Aviation Security Policy & Plan
Task 3: Assess Training Requirements
Task 4: Identify Environmental Concerns
Task 5: Develop Performance Based Plans and Specifications
Task 6: Implementation Advisory Assistance.
The Threat Assessment and Security Implementation Plan for THAI Airways Operations at Suvarnabhumi Airport defined a security policy and framework for detailed security resources to be operational at the new airport. THAI Airways operates six key aviation-related business units for the airline and service several others including: Cargo and Mail, Catering, Ground Support, Operations Center, Aircraft Maintenance Center and Customer Service Center. The Threat Assessment and Security Implementation Plan included a detailed assessment and security system requirements for the six areas of operations (more then 50 buildings) and ensure that the security systems and procedures are compatible and seamless with the overall security plan for the new airport. The assessment and plans rely upon the most recent security requirements identified by the ICAO, FAA, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security as they relate to THAI Airways operations and security implementation plan.
NASS Provided detailed design drawings plans and specification for specific site installation of equipment and systems including:
Design of advanced CCTV system that includes hundreds of deferent type of cameras connected to digital networked system
Design a state of the art networked access control system for all facilities including biometric identification features, local and centralized ID offices, secure and redundant data bases and more.
Design of advanced centralized command and control centers (SOC and EOC) including local SOC (5 locations), centralized SOC and EOC at THAI operation center to control local and remote operation of the airline.
Design of security employee and crew security checkpoint at the deferent facilities incorporation ID verification functions (biometric) and advanced processing methodologies
Design of vehicle tracking technology
Design of perimeter intrusion detection system (CCTV based)
Design of Cargo screening operations for all types of cargo
NASS is currently providing THAI Airways with on-going support that includes both task-order contracts and supervision of the implementation of security systems to guarantee the successful implementation of the project.
EXAMPLE # 3
Athens International Airport- Greece
NASS was contracted by AIA to plan and assist the airport to comply with the new EU security regulations (EU 2320).
The new regulation focuses on upgrading the access control operations to the critical part of the airport including full screening of all employees, crew members, vehicles and supplies entering the restricted area.
The new requirement calls for large investment in new and modified infrastructure throughout the airport, changes of operational procedures and integration of advanced technology to support the new operation.
In order to comply with the new regulation NASS and the airport had to develop a comprehensive security plan that included:
Design new vehicle and employee screening checkpoints including, weapons detection systems, electronic access control systems, deferent surveillance technologies (design to bid level including layout and specs)
Enhancements of exiting access control system by adding additional locations changing zoning, adding rules to the system and more.
Reconfiguration of the employee’s movement patterns to support both operational and security needs
Compliance with fire and safety codes
Statistical analysis of employees, vehicles and passengers flow
Integration of access control CCTV and alarms into the GIS based control center
Perimeter protection
Development of new Protocols and security training
Status: ongoing
