So What? Who Cares?
• Space: Optimal resource allocation at airports
• Problem: How to quantify and minimize risk from threats and how to use associated countermeasures more effectively?
• Solution: Airport Risk Assessment Model (ARAM)
• Results: ARAM can significantly reduce risk compared to ad hoc methods and is being deployed now starting at Sea-Tac Airport

ARAM Objectives
• Increase the effectiveness of airport security countermeasures Decide on best use of discretionary resources (risk-based)
Account for multiple threats
Provide unity of effort across stakeholder organizations to reduce duplication of effort
Track risk and risk reduction trends over time
• Easy to use

Risk Reduction and Resource Assessment Model
• Operational since 2008, first model to quantify risk from VBIEDs and now active threats to WA State Ferries
• Uses risk based approach vs. screening percent
• Optimizes placement of WA State Patrol officer/canine teams to minimize risk to ferry system
• Spin-offs include ARAM from the Sea-Tac Airport

Airport Risk Assessment Model
• Developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory – one of the first models to dynamically quantify risk from terrorist threats at airports
• Automatically optimizes recommended assignment locations of deployable security countermeasures
• Demonstrated to DHS S&T, TSA, Port of Seattle Security/Police Department, and Delta Airline Security
• Operationally deployed at Sea-Tac Airport in Spring 2019, with additional airports to follow
• Sponsored by DHS S&T – Apex Screening at Speed

Risk Quantification Basics
• Founded on core DHS risk doctrine, ARAM is a risk-based, intel-driven decision platform to assess and quantify terrorism risk at airports and optimally deploy available countermeasures to minimize risk overtime
• Airport security countermeasures work together in innumerable combinations to counter potential threats and to create uncertainty in minds of potential adversaries What’s best?

Definitions and Risk Analysis Introduction
• Risk: Potential for an unwanted outcome resulting from an incident, event, or occurrence, as determined by its likelihood and the associated consequences
• Risk Score: Numerical result of a semi-quantitative risk assessment methodology Gauges the combination of threat, vulnerability, and consequence at a specific
moment and location
• Basic risk equation:
R = f(T, V, C)

Risk Analysis Methodology
• Consider different potential threats and assess overall risk to airport over time Method starts by decomposing core components of risk into respective subcomponents
Subcomponents assessed based on characteristics at airport and potential threats of concern

What are the Benefits?
• ARAM measures the risk of an airport and allocates resources in the most effective and efficient manner
• Effective because the countermeasures are going to places where they are the most needed
“You can’t manage what you don’t measure” – Peter Drucker
