Workshop Background: This IWPC workshop is next in a series of ones held in September 2006 and February 2007 near Washington, DC where the requirements and solutions of several government departments for security sensors were presented. Since 9/11, governments worldwide are wrestling with how to contain terrorist and criminal activities before they occur. There is an increased need for a heightened level of security at airports, marine terminals, border crossings, public venues and buildings, prisons and in law enforcement. Several international government departments and administrative agencies are involved and have roles such as: Justice Departments and Prison Systems Department of Homeland Security and Other National Government Departments Transportation Safety Associations Defense Departments Departments of Transport Airport Authorities Police Departments This workshop will focus on the transportation sector with a stronger emphasis on the European environment and requirements. It will address security systems at airports, marine terminals, trains and subways. In addition, it is intended to review results of an initiative to establish an industry led project to develop and document agreed to performance benchmarks to address government requirements with appropriate systems of evaluation. Examples of sensor applications, both portal and standoff, which are required for transportation security include: Weapons and Explosives detection on persons and in baggage Perimeter and building access violations The last workshop illustrated and demonstrated many of the emerging solutions based on the use of the millimeterwave bands (20-300 GHz) for direct and remote sensing and showed that these are becoming increasingly cost effective and reliable systems. The inherent resolution of millimeterwaves and their ability to either penetrate, reflect off of or sense various materials, makes these frequencies well suited to many critical sensing applications.
Workshop Goals: To provide an opportunity to increase the dialogue between the government agencies and representatives, particularly European, and the equipment providers. To offer the various government departments an opportunity to better appreciate and advise on the appropriateness of the latest solutions available to meet their needs and expectations To better understand which requirements may be best suited to millimeterwave technology approaches. To offer the equipment providers an opportunity to update their solutions presented at the September 2006 workshop. To bring together the entire millimeterwave sensor supply and demand chain, to obtain a better understanding of what the key demands, expectations and capabilities are of the supporting technologies. and lastly: to explore the potential for establishing an industry led initiative to develop agreement on performance measures to address government requirements.
