Thales UK Leads Search for Innovation in Aviation Security

Thales UK and Intellect today announce the launch of the INSTINCT Technology Demonstrator 2 (TD2) project, which seeks to discover, trial and showcase innovative technologies, solutions and ideas that will improve aviation security technologies or processes.

The project invites participation from any person, company or academic institution, regardless of size or location, that has a technology, solution or idea that could improve aviation security at any stage in the air travel process from the point of planning a trip, through to boarding an aircraft.

The INSTINCT TD2 project seeks to support the development of ideas which could be implemented within the aviation security environment, as well as increasing the awareness of these ‘products’ and their capabilities to the airport, airline and security authorities and companies.

A £50 000 prize fund is available, as well as the opportunity to test technologies, solutions or ideas in a real environment that entrants may not normally have access to.
