Ben Gurion Airport is about to change: These are the new systems that will be tested at the field

The Israel Airports Authority has announced three Israeli technology companies selected in the first cycle of the RUNWAY 2-6 innovation program, which will conduct pilots at Ben Gurion Airport in the fields of security, aviation safety, and cybersecurity. The winning companies are Corsight AI, which will test a biometric facial recognition system; Towerlink, which will implement an automated system for investigating safety incidents in the control tower; and Salvador Technologies, which will present a hardware solution for rapid recovery of critical operational systems after a cyber attack. The program opened the authority's facilities to startups for the first time, out of 42 proposals submitted. The authority and the companies are now finalizing the test scenarios and timelines.
