Trends in Security Information
The HSD Trendmonitor is designed to provide access to relevant content on various subjects in the safety and security domain, to identify relevant developments and to connect knowledge and organisations. The safety and security domain encompasses a vast number of subjects. Four relevant taxonomies (type of threat or opportunity, victim, source of threat and domain of application) have been constructed in order to visualize all of these subjects. The taxonomies and related category descriptions have been carefully composed according to other taxonomies, European and international standards and our own expertise.
In order to identify safety and security related trends, relevant reports and HSD news articles are continuously scanned, analysed and classified by hand according to the four taxonomies. This results in a wide array of observations, which we call ‘Trend Snippets’. Multiple Trend Snippets combined can provide insights into safety and security trends. The size of the circles shows the relative weight of the topic, the filters can be used to further select the most relevant content for you. If you have an addition, question or remark, drop us a line at info@securitydelta.nl.

Bird radar systems are able to gather objective and persistent knowledge of bird movements on national air bases
Flight Safety First
The damage caused by bird strikes range from not being able to carry out missions, to damage and downtime of operational aircraft, all the way up to complete loss of aircraft, and even life. The new bird radars enable the RNLAF to gather objective and persistent knowledge of bird movements on and around all of their national air bases, preventing bird strikes and increasing flight safety. The bird radars are primarily intended to support the local bird controllers. In due course, the systems are also intended to support air traffic control too.
