PARAS 0039 Security, Operations, and Design Considerations for Airside Vehicle Access Gates
Airside vehicle access gates provide critical control points that allow access to the airside for the necessary movement of vehicles and goods. This report addresses all aspects of vehicle access gates, including gate layout, gate and barrier types, signage and signals, area security and access control measures, vehicle inspection technologies, gate operations and staffing strategies, training and testing, design and implementation, and project management and procurement.
PARAS 0015 Guidance for Airport Perimeter Security
The purpose of this document is to guide aviation professionals responsible for perimeter security at airports. While the primary focus of this guidance is on technical aspects of perimeter security and systems, such as perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS), the document also addresses important physical security methods as well as procedural and operational security measures to facilitate effective perimeter security.
PARAS 0005 Airport Perimeter Breach Classification and Post-Incident Best Practices
This document was developed for all FAR Part 139 airport operators to assist in their efforts to address perimeter security breaches. Specifically, the project developed a consequence-based classification model for perimeter security breaches that can differentiate the severity and risk of these breaches and enable airports to accurately convey internally, to the public, and to the news media the severity and types of breaches that occur at their facilities. This guidance document also provides best practices for post-breach activities.
