About GTAS

The Global Travel Assessment System (GTAS) is a turn-key web application that provides all the necessary decision support system features to (1) receive and store air traveler data, both Advance Passenger Information (API) and PNR (Passenger Name Record); (2) provide real-time risk assessment against this data based on your own specific risk criteria and/or watch lists; and (3) view high risk travelers as well as their associated flight and reservation information.

About the code

GTAS is developed in Java and uses open source software components and platforms.
