    Brief

    Develop a comprehensive data collection and management system for airline radiation monitoring (SAIRA). The project includes: (1) An API platform enabling secure upload of data files by airline staff and retrieval by the Met Office; (2) Automated data processing that merges incoming SAIRA files and processes radiation dose information, reducing manual workflows; (3) Secure data storage with regular backups maintained within the UK; (4) Integration with geographic positioning systems using airline location data or FlightRadar24 alternatives; (5) Custom Android applications for British Airways and Virgin Atlantic tablets that allow ground staff to read data from micro SD cards and upload to cloud servers with secure user authentication. The solution prioritizes ease of use for airline personnel while enhancing reliability, security, and operational efficiency in radiation dose data handling.
