Videoconference, 1-2 October 2026 — The ECAC Security Forum agreed to develop a document outlining the future direction of aviation security technology, with the aim of supporting research and development and encouraging the deployment of advanced technologies that meet Member States’ needs.
The proposal was discussed at the Forum’s 48th meeting, which also examined the challenges faced by Member States and industry in planning for the deployment of security equipment.
Discussions covered the cyber security aspects of security technologies and the use of artificial intelligence in security equipment.
