Overarching Concept• Technology Improvements

– Sensor arrays throughout facility• Terminal entry, checkpoints, concourses, ticketing/kiosks, jetways and aircraft

– Hand-held sensing devices and information sharing systems • Net-centric operations

– Layered CBRN&E Detection & Mitigation• Operational Improvements

– Leverage LEOs trained to support FAMS– Developing commercial BDDT – Alert, response, flexible and unpredictable execution

• Continuous contingency planning

– BPR– ROE for suicide bombers and incidents of national significance– Intelligence/I&W sharing– Security design integral to all airport design for seamless integration

Commercial Spaceport Integration

• Security requirements will be similar to that found at commercial airports.

• Leverage NGATS security systems and technology to obtain enhanced security surrounding spaceports.

• Obtain global harmonization to streamline international licensure for low orbit reentry.

• Develop international policy on security measures at origin.
