Aviation Security in Airport Development (ASIAD) is an anti-terrorism program implemented by the Department for Transport in the United Kingdom to incorporate design elements into airports that will impart resistance to bomb blasts.Airport World - Asset protection Retrieved September 2014 Components such as heat-strengthened laminated glass are used for windows, security barriers, and terminal facades.
Designs employed Bespoke structural bonding of frame to glass. Increasing the strength of components for track and door running systems Maintaining flexibility and ductility of door frame components Restriction of projectile components when high forces of an explosive event occur Increasing robustness of drive motors, running gears, and operating systems Incorporating combinations of multi-laminated glass at varying thicknesses and with anti-shard glass properties Built-in sensors to identify forced opening, etc Blast-resistant anti-jump runner systems Toughened sensor controls Post-blast retained structural barriers to stop physical attacks, unauthorized or forced entrees, or escapes Bomb blast protection - Ingersoll Rand 2007 Retrieved October 2014
