DEFINITION:
Aircraft security measures are the physical protection measures required in order to protect the aircraft and the passengers and crew when they are on-board.

SUBDOMAINS:
- Systems and procedures for identification and access of personnel to the flight deck
- On-board explosives detection systems
- Alarm systems (e.g. panic alarms for cabin staff, seatback phones for passengers)
- Cockpit security monitoring systems (voice recorders, video surveillance etc)
- Passenger cabin security monitoring systems (voice recorders, video surveillance etc)
- Security systems deployed by armed sky marshals
- Tamper-proof and multiply-redundant transponder systems
- Modified collision and terrain-avoidance systems (to prevent aircraft from being crashed deliberately)
- Modified automatic landing systems (to enable forced landing of aircraft by ground authorities after it has been hijacked)
- Cybersecurity procedures and systems.
