Introduction
Aviation security is a set of measures aimed at protecting civil aviation from unlawful interference. As a rule, this safety is provided by qualified people with the use of any material resources. In its long history of air travel, the number of fatal accidents has dropped to levels that suggest that aviation is one of the safest modes of transport on Earth (Boyd, 2017). However, statistics are uneven and depend on geographic and classification factors.
Among the main issues of aviation security, one can single out the methods and tools of terrorists that can cause harm even without the presence of the terrorists themselves; the role of the state and security support measures and determines the best vector of response to threats (Cusick et al., 2017). Due to the rapid development of technologies and the dynamics of the fluidity of the modern world, the main goal of aviation security is to change the reactive approach to a proactive one, within which security representatives will be able to prevent any incidents in advance at their earliest stage systematically. This paper highlights current trends and issues related to aviation security and the many innovations and approaches that are being taken as solutions to essential issues.
Technological Development
Innovation in the modern world is increasingly being applied at the intersection of disciplines. The integrative approach allows us to consider each scientific discovery within the framework of the problems of a particular industry and use the product in the event that even theoretically, its usefulness will be proven. The design of the technology of continental radar networks, which are global in nature, find their application in many areas from agriculture to aviation security (Bauer et al., 2017).
The current radars, as a rule, are represented at the local level and do not represent the ability to predict global events. Environmental disturbances, which will be indexed at the communications level, as well as the introduction of uniform standards for radars, will help improve forecasting of weather conditions for flights, the assessment of which has always been a priority issue in safety matters. These conditions are taken into account at all stages of the air transportation process, from aircraft design to, for example, eliminating the possibility of icing (Cao et al., 2018). Technical innovation requires constant growth, as absolute safety in aviation is almost impossible to achieve.
There is a clear tendency of special attention to issues of ecology and environmental protection in the modern world. Aeroecology is no exception and has become widespread in recent years. As a rule, technological developments in this area aim to eliminate collisions of air transport with birds, which in extreme cases even leads to disasters and loss of life (van Gasteren et al., 2019). In addition, these activities also include the use of monitoring systems, the problem of the use of which was highlighted above.
Methodology and Approaches
Traditional approaches to the management and regulation of aviation security are based on the analysis of incidents and incidents. Other proactive methods are just beginning to gain traction, and as a rule, include systems of risk management methods, since analysis based only on errors and failures does not provide a complete picture of understanding the complex system of functioning of all aviation processes (Insua et al., 2019).
In order to create a non-retrospective method, a standardized reporting framework has been created called TOKAI. It is necessary to analyze incidents in the most neutral language, transmit the report to the air navigation companies using the toolkit of this method (Patriarca et al., 2019). Based on the data in these reports, a security dashboard can be created proactive compared to traditional methods.
One unconventional approach to increasing the focus on aviation security on the part of passengers is using arcade games for smartphones to create a more serious attitude towards aviation security. The results highlight the significant impact on applying correct behavior in an emergency and the mediating role of interaction (Chittaro & Buttussi, 2019). The versatility and accessibility of this approach reflect and actualizes the side of universal labor for the benefit of aviation security. Not only the government and services directly related to aviation should take action for the benefit of quality air travel, but passengers themselves should do their best to help them.
Conclusion
This work examines modern technologies and methods aimed at maintaining aviation security. The analysis revealed, as well as permanent problems, where it is practically impossible to achieve a complete solution, both in the case of meteorological conditions and new ones, aimed, for example, at preserving the environment. The methodology studies the various influences of humans and other factors on the occurrence of errors and failures and develops new proactive, proactive approaches. The global nature of the problems of any air transportation requires joint efforts of both the airlines themselves in various sectors, including not only security but also the state and passengers, since only in the complete agreement will the chances of a safe flight increase.
