Parsons is a recognized leader in aviation security. We are applying our
expertise to reconfiguration of security checkpoints on the Department of
Homeland Security’s/Transportation Security Administration Strategic Airport Security Rollout (SASR)
program—including design, configuration, procedures, and implementation of
security system upgrades—and are providing the Transportation Security
Administration with a centralized repository for this security screening
information through our Information Technology Management Services contract.
Parsons’ comprehensive knowledge of the business of airports, gained by managing more than $100 billion of construction at operating airports, means that we are sensitive not only
to the technological aspects of security, but also to integrating these solutions with
airport operations. At Parsons, we assess both the technological and operational challenges to security, and ensure that our solutions successfully address both.
Department of Homeland Security/Transportation Security Administration
(DHS/TSA) Coordination
Parsons has been instrumental in the transfer of security responsibilities from
local public entities to the Federal entity of the Department of Homeland Security/Transportation
Security Administration throughout the United States. Parsons continues to be at the forefront of implementing the DHS/TSA's new security operations that ensure air passenger safety at the nation's airports. The DHS/TSA
security requirements are being implemented under the Strategic Airport
Security Rollout Program. At each airport, as Program Managers, Parsons has obtained approvals through positive coordination with the Airport Director and the DHS/TSA Security Chief in making the Strategic Airport
Security Rollout Program a true success.
Strategic Airport Security Rollout
Phase I
The project team implemented the coordinated master plan and rollout schedule developed under Phase I, April 2002, of this program. Parsons provided design, engineering, procurement, construction, and project management services on highly compressed schedules. Parsons' work procedures are tailored to individual airport requirements, which may necessitate extensive coordination and compressed scheduling to keep operations unimpeded. Parsons has the in-house expertise to furnish the following services:
- Coordinate and obtain the required approvals of the stakeholders
- Upgrade passenger security measures—Performed at over 90 major airports
(Category X, 1, 2, and 3)
- Reconfigure checkpoints
- Obtain all required permits for the actual construction and installation of equipment
Phase II
As part of Phase II of the DHS/TSA Strategic Airport Security Rollout Program, Parsons upgraded the video surveillance
and information technology infrastructure capabilities at over 73 Category X
and 1 airports covering over 300 checkpoints and 1,000 screening lanes. Relevant Parsons services
as as follows:
- Enhance passenger screening lanes at security checkpoints
- Installation of infrastructure technology (IT) for security
