Aerospace Services International, Inc. (ASI) consults on a broad range of security matters and is a recognized leader in the security field, particularly national infrastructure elements, e.g., seaports, POL systems, aviation facilities, diplomatic structures and head-of-state residences. ASI receives requests worldwide for assistance on a host of subjects, including operational requirements, system design, incident response, crisis management, and security systems concerns. As an example, ASI has been working with two key Middle East Governments since May 1993 to help plan counter terrorist activities. ASI's President has been frequently active as an advisor to U.S. Congressional and Presidential Commissions dealing with counter terrorism. ASI's Senior Vice-President chairs the International Civil Aviation Organizations committee that identifies and recommends measures to counter new and emerging threats to civil aviation. This breath of experience and contacts with government and industry security leaders assists ASI in foreseeing changes in the threat environment and to closely observe the development of advanced means of protection. For example, as the security consultant on the architect's team for the New Denver Airport we were asked to evaluate innovative design features with respect to their effect upon secondary casualties in the event of an explosion deliberately created or natural catastrophe such as a severe weather event.

ASI's confidential threat assessment and system design activities for head of state facilities have included threat assessment, site vulnerability studies, and protective designs including an optimal combination of active and passive protection measures. Active measures include threat identification and countering with integrated security systems incorporating the latest active technologies such as: activity, occupancy, and intrusion sensor systems; direct, overt and covert surveillance means; and access control to protected areas by the use of biometric identification of staff. Passive protection measures include placement of the most sensitive functions in the least vulnerable locations; use of inexpensive, expendable barriers and blast deflection devices along perimeters, providing redundant critical services; and hardening of structures containing key personnel. This experience was applied in assessing their incorporation in airport security systems. ASI's assessment of system improvements for the San Francisco International Airport (SFO), that was an early adopter of hand geometry identification, is an example.

ASI has extensive experience in the Middle East, Far East and Europe over the past decade and a half in security systems requirements analyses, the design of security systems to protect government and with the private and commercial sectors. This includes vulnerability assessment, security requirements analysis, engineering design, and the oversight of the construction and implementation of sophisticated security systems. ASI's experience in the U.S. also includes the design, and the oversight of the construction and implementation of sophisticated computerized access control systems at several major U.S. airports.
