More about FLYSEC

Proof-of-Concept at Schönhagen Airport

During the week of 20^th-24^th February, 2017 the project partners met at Schönhagen Airport to set-up and integrate all technical components and software modules for a Proof-of-Concept.

A week of hard work was crowned with success! Four scenarios describing typical occurrences in an airport terminal were tested to the full satisfaction of the project partnership, the Project Officer and external Reviewer who attended the tests and guests from the German Federal Police.

The Assessors of the tests came to very positive conclusions as well.

This also includes the FLYSEC mobile app, which was found very useful by the first passengers who had the opportunity to try and also by the staff of security services on site.

The FLYSEC partners wish to thank the large number of movie extras, suppliers of technical equipment and the Airport Management and team who contributed to successful testing as well.

Furthermore, we thank all companies based on the airport for their understanding and patience regarding any disturbances due to noise and unusual trouble caused by our tests and movie documentation.

FLYSEC passed Mid-Term Review

At 17th-18th January, 2017 FLYSEC had its Mid-Term Review Meeting at the Directorate General for Migration and Home Affairs of the European Commission. The progress of the project was presented to the Project Officer and the external reviewer who is supporting the Commission services.

Nearly 50 Deliverables were reviewed and it was found that FLYSEC is well on track to achieve its objectives.

Furthermore, the future collaboration with the Stakeholders Advisory Group was discussed and an exchange of experiences with other projects in the sphere of “Secure societies – protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens” was endorsed.
