Flight security help is needed
A share of a £50,000 cash prize is on offer for ideas that help the government improve aviation security in the battle against terrorism.
Students, academics and businesses in Portsmouth and south-east Hampshire are urged to submit their designs.
Ideas are sought on improvements to the travel process, from planning and booking a trip to boarding an aircraft.
Successful designers will have the chance to develop their ideas into real products and share a slice of the prize fund.
The government has teamed up with defence electronics supplier Thales, who will arrange for the best ideas to be trialled and tested in UK airports and showcased at an industry event in December.
Minister for security Baroness Neville-Jones said: 'Industry and academia can play their part in providing the solutions.
'The UK is one of the most innovative countries in the world and I am sure there are numerous ideas and products out there which could potentially improve aviation security.'
