Why Is National Security So Important To America's Aerospace Industry?

At Aircraft Solutions, there are several samples of concerns that could lead to a breach of information or compromised branch of their system. Due to the design of their geographical layout, secure connections that encrypt

Since the beginning of aviation, aircraft have been used for other intentions besides carrying passengers and cargo. They have been used as weapons of war dating all the way back to the first world war, and the use of aircraft has enlightened the advancement of the aviation. “Throughout the history of aviation, the greatest progress in flight has been made during time when either war or the threat of war was present” (Millspaugh, et al., 2008, p. 33). However, the war we face today has been triggered by the deliberate use of aircraft to cause death, destruction, and mayhem.

Technological developments have both created new opportunities as well as threats for the aviation industry.

An assessment of Aircraft Solutions (AS) as to what Security Vulnerabilities that might be found, two areas discussed are Hardware & Policy weakness and impact.

The United States government has always played an important role in safeguarding Americans' civil liberties since its inception, with the methods always being, according to the government, in the best interest of the American people, aways in the best interest, but not always constitutional. In the entire span of the United States history, the commitment of the protection of Americans civil liberties have frequently been tested and strained. National security has always been an important part of the livelihood of American citizens, it has been ingrained as not only a law but as a right as well.

The United States is one of the safest countries in the world with the most advanced weapons and well-trained security agents (Fairthorne, 1993). My assessment of the country’s protection effort is that the nation has done enough in laying down security infrastructure, this is based on the fact the country has not received any major attack since 9/11. The country has also been able to intercept many attacks and therefore it means that the country is secure and that the security measures put in place are appropriate enough to secure the

Boeing’s target market is different in that they are selling to companies rather than individuals. The target market is determined through a combination of geographic and demographic segmentation. The two target markets are commercial airline companies and the US government and its allies. These markets directly coincide with the company’s two business units: Commercial Airplanes and Defense, Space, & Security (Boeing, 2016).

“We have learned as a Nation that we must maintain a constant, capable, and vigilant posture to protect ourselves against new threats and evolving hazards. But we have also learned that vigilance and protection are not ends in and of themselves, but rather necessary tools in the service of our national purpose.”(Napolitano, 2010, p.iv) In the wake of the September 11th, 2001 attacks our nation has taken upon itself extreme vigilance to ensure the security and defense of the American people. The relationship between homeland security and homeland defense is one that is tightly knit. Each has a very distinct mission set but somewhere along the spectrum they cross over and mutually support each other in the best interest of the nation.

When we think of our jobs as emergency responders, we think of the good days and the bad days, but mostly we just think about the impacts that we have made on so many people’s lives. The job is difficult, and only getting harder as the world continues to become more violent and quite honestly, more unpredictable. Living in the United States is a privilege due to our freedoms and rights that our citizens hold, and people from all over the world strive to become a citizen here in our beautiful country. Now with the glory, comes the target. We are a nation that is willing to help other nations that need help and are under attack, and we have aggressive strategies when it comes to counter terrorism and

Companies in the aerospace industry require high capital investment and new innovated technology. Some key ratios in the aerospace and defense industry include the current ratio, the debt to equity ratio, working capital ratio, and capital expenditures to sales. These financial ratios measure how firms leverage debt, how capable a company is of paying its obligations, and how much a company invests to facilitate growth. The table below shows 2014 financial data for 1,400 large, medium, and small company sizes within the aerospace industry (Hoovers, 2015).

Security in America has evolved from the time of the first settlers to today’s well-trained forces. Factors leading to the significant growth of private security from pre-Civil War to post World War II consisted of a lack of public police and large monetary loss by private industry. Today, security is global and faces challenges and changes, with increases in terrorism and technology crimes. It must maintain a high level of professionalism and maintain technological innovation remain a respected industry.

An efficient and secure aviation system is essential within Australia’s aviation industry since it connects cities and Australia to the rest of the world. Aviation security refers to the prevention of terrorism and acts of unlawful interference and help safeguard Australia’s aviation transport system. The Australian Government regulates the Australian aviation security environment through the Aviation Transport Security Act 2004(ATSA) and the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005 (ATSR).

Thesis Statement: “Citizens of this country should value the national security more than their privacy since it is concerned with a much larger group of people in order to protect our country from invaders, to maintain the survival of our country and to prevent airing of criticism of government.”

From the advent of the Internet, there came with it the opportunity for any of its users to have access to any information they seeked right at their fingertips. With this access; entertainment, market opportunities, educational information, productivity, and global communication were able to grow and flourish, however with these gains seen came with it the weakening of the once secure national strength seen in nations. In the last two decades cyberspace has been defined as the 'fifth battleground’ for international relations, with the aspects of cyber war, cyber terrorism, and cybercrime as some of the largest threats to the security of the national and international community. (Popović, 2013) With this ‘fifth battleground’ of the cyberspace thrown into the international battlegrounds of old, its effectiveness and effect on the both the modern state and the international bodies of the world, posing the question of how will this increased accessibility to the cyberspace will affect national security in the coming years?

Airport security is necessary for the safety and efficiency of airlines today. Attacks involving airlines have been “among the deadliest in terms of human lives and economic impact,” even though relatively few attacks have occurred using airlines compared to other terrorism methods (Szyliowicz, 2011, p.2). Airport Security has been administered using a government-operated system since the Aviation and Transportation Security Act was enacted in 2001. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), now an agency of homeland security, replaced private security measures and personnel with at least 60,000 federal employees (Szyliowicz, 2011). However, privatization may be making a come-back. The following analysis will analyze
