Terrorism: Reducing Vulnerabilities and Improving Responses - U.S.-Russian Workshop Proceedings

Plans call for participation in this project by the leading scientific research, design, engineering, and flight-testing organizations in the Russian aviation sector. These organizations specialize in designing, operating, and testing heavy, light, civilian, and military aircraft; onboard systems for automated and manual flight control; ground-based flight control systems; onboard and ground-based radio communications systems; and others. They have great creative potential and experience and have done much previous scientific and engineering work in aircraft design, testing, and operation; design and operation of onboard equipment and software for use aboard civilian and military aircraft; systematic development of failure-resistant and fail-safe onboard equipment, such as ergatic (man-machine) systems; development and operation of imitation and seminatural model displays; certification of aircraft, equipment, and software; and operation of flight control systems. Based on this concept, a number of technical features could be developed for the stage-by-stage implementation of the project, with the goal of the first stage being the execution of a test flight of a heavy passenger plane in external control mode. The problem must be resolved with the involvement of leading foreign firms and organizations.

CONCLUSION

The appearance of international terrorism on a broad scale represents a challenge to all mankind. Problems involving the improvement of security may be resolved only through the joint efforts of many countries.
