It’s good to see the government looking to kill two birds
with one stone here: trying to stay ahead of potential security
threats in airports whilst encouraging innovation amongst British
companies.
The aviation sector is worth £20 billion to the UK
economy, and continued investment will ensure the long-term future
of aviation, keeping the UK competitive internationally.
The gloomily named HADeS scheme will provide funding to six
British companies (whose identities are seemingly still shrouded in
darkness) to develop novel scanning technology which will help
reduce delays in airport. £450,000 will be shared out amongst
the six successful companies.
It will be interesting to learn more about the companies
involved, and I look forward to seeing their technologies at work
(as evidenced by smaller queues!) at an airport near me before
long.
Passengers are set to benefit from smoother journeys thanks to
funding for smart airport technology, announced today (18 March
2025) by the Department for Transport (DfT).
