What are the benefits of the ACAS program?
Several universal advantages include:
- Increased security by leveraging Department of Homeland Security (DHS) threat data and other data to employ a risk-based approach to improve air cargo security through targeted screening.
- Gained efficiencies by automating identification of high-risk cargo for enhanced screening before it is consolidated and loaded on U.S.-bound aircraft.
- Reduced paper processes related to cargo screening requirements, thereby increasing carrier convenience
