The problem of civil aviation safety is largely determined by the “human factor”. Transport security is a multidimensional concept that includes various security factors that are provided by aviation personnel in the relevant areas of professional activity. A particularly important factor should be considered the activities of personnel in the field of airport security. An acceptable level of airport aviation security can be achieved if the level of professional activity of the security personnel meets the established requirements. The system of requirements is implemented in a set of algorithms and procedures for personnel activities, the implementation of which is mandatory in
strict accordance with the requirements. However, the physical nature of the human component, under the strictest control, does not guarantee absolute compliance with the requirements, i.e. the professional activity of aviation personnel is not guaranteed against accidental or unintentional errors. These errors are a source of negative impact of personnel on the airport’s aviation security. In this case, it is necessary to have the means to minimize the negative impact. The paper considers some software and technical means of minimization

The work presents the author’s view on one of the most important problems of civil aviation in modern conditions – the problem of ensuring the aviation security of civil aviation facilities. Problems of security and problems of aviation security management are investigated and addressed in the assessment approach through the creation of integrated systems for aviation security and the concept of vulnerability. The concept of vulnerability is determined by the degree of protection of transport infrastructure objects from unauthorized interference in their activities. The work proposes the airport vulnerability model as an object of transport infrastructure. The proposed methodology includes a system of views of the authors on the problem of aviation security based on the concept of vulnerability.

This research relates to air transport security and includes studies aimed at improving systems to ensure an acceptable level of transport security by solving technical challenges in the field of adaptive incident management.
