Software to give ‘clear view’ of airport security

Chennai: Chennai airport, among the eight high-profile airports in the country in terms of scope for security threat, could soon see closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras installed along its perimeter as part of a modern security management system.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) is in talks with US-based Raytheon for its software-based Clear View system at several airports in the country, including Chennai.
The Clear View system of Raytheon, which installed the air traffic automation system at Chennai, is in use at several US airports and defence establishments to automatically detect, assess and warn about threats and impending incidents.
"The system can take inputs from existing cameras and sensors to assess threats. Data can be integrated from multiple existing systems to create a common operating picture. Users can change the workflow and security procedures without changing the core system software. It can be configured to suit existing and future needs," said Robert Meyer, in-charge of business development, Air Traffic Management at Network Centric System, Raytheon.
