Panel discussion: Joint Open Architecture Steering Group – an international open architecture collaboration

10 Apr 2025
N102
Aviation security, technology, process and people
The Joint Open Architecture Steering Group (JOASG), which authored the second edition of the guidance document Open Architecture for Airport Security Systems, is an international group of regulators, airport operators and industry stakeholders collaborating to define and promote the aviation security community’s implementation of open architecture (OA). This discussion will provide insight on use cases, technical standards, demonstrations, standardization, scalability, all things data, intellectual property, T&E/certification, cybersecurity, interoperability, as well as how OA may change the future of screening operations, such as remote screening, dynamic threat screening and staffing, and extend possibilities in the search for prohibited items.
  • What open architecture for airport security is, and why I should get involved
  • How OA benefits me as a large, medium or small airport, and my passengers
  • How I can have a voice in the implementation of OA as a regulator, airport operator and OEM/vendor
  • How OA evolves the development, testing/certification, procurement and sustainment of airport security technology
  • How OA will change screening operations (i.e. remote screening, dynamic threat screening, staffing, etc)
