RESCUER aims to design and develop a First-Responder-centered technology toolkit that will empower the next generation of First Responders (FR) by enhancing their operational capacity and safety, specifically in adverse conditions, both environmental and infrastructure-wise. https://rescuerproject.eu/

FASTER will employ a set of important supporting technologies that will be deployed to circumvent special conditions that manifest during disasters and hamper the deployment and effectiveness of traditional disaster response systems. https://www.faster-project.eu/

RADIOSCOPIO, is a NATIONAL/EU funded research and development project, concerning the development of a new system capable for low radioactivity level monitoring in continuous mode. http://radioscopio.hcmr.gr/

FOLDOUT focus on through foliage detection in the inner and outermost regions of the EU. Foliage penetration is an unsolved important part of border surveillance. By solving the problem of unreliable detections in such harsh environments border guards’ workloads are reduced, costs are reduced and, last but not least, lives can be saved.https://foldout.eu

POSEIDON: (a) established a sustainable marine observing network in the Eastern Mediterranean, (b) provides quality and validated forecasts of the marine environment, (c) provides scientific knowledge and support on the study of the ocean mechanisms and their variability, as well as to address the sensitivity of marine ecosystem and biodiversity to combined natural forcing factors and anthropogenic pressures, and (d) provides a technology test bed and services to marine policy-makers and the society. Developed in accordance to the policy frameworks suggested by IOC/GOOS, EuroGOOS, MonGOOS and GEO while it maintains a balance between the operational and research character of the infrastructure through the integration of methodologies and tools developed in relevant EU initiatives and projects.https://poseidon.hcmr.gr

EURMARS’s ground-breaking vision is to expand the common risk assessment practices currently deployed by authorities to enable the development, deployment and evaluation of a secure multitasking surveillance platform that improves sensing capabilities for a wide range of security risks and threats in wider border areas by clustering high altitude platforms technology, satellite imagery, UxVs (uninhabited vehicles) and ground-based sensors into a novel joint surveillance capability.https://eurmars-project.eu

I-SEAMORE project aims to develop an integrated Ecosystem composed of an advanced platform solution to host and manage the operation of several innovative assets, services and systems for maritime operations. It aims to provide European Authorities with increased situational awareness and operational capabilities for Maritime surveillance operations resorting to aerial and water surface support. I-SEAMORE includes the modernization and/or development a set of services and tools that will enable the MOCs to take advantage from the use of heterogeneous data sources as well as data and information processing mechanisms.https://iseamore-project.eu

NESTOR addresses a common challenge among EU countries, namely, the protection and safeguarding of the European marine and land borders. To this end, NESTOR aims to demonstrate a fully functional next-generation holistic border surveillance system providing pre-frontier situational awareness beyond maritime and land borders following the concept of the European Integrated Border Management.https://nestor-project.eu

It is expected that in the years to come marine traffic to the Arctic will increase. For practitioners such as coast guards, this can present key challenges to ensuring the safety and security of all actors in the area. Addressing this, the EU-funded AI-ARC project aims to develop the Virtual Control Room (VCR), a novel, user-friendly and robust system based on artificial intelligence that can provide a situational picture in the Arctic Ocean region.https://ai-arc.eu/

The EU-funded EFFECTOR project will boost maritime surveillance and improve decision support. By implementing an interoperability framework and associated data fusion and analytics services for maritime surveillance and border security, the project will foster collaboration between maritime stakeholders. This will allow the faster detection of new events and better-informed decision making. Moreover, the joint understanding and undertaking of a situation across borders will allow the seamless cooperation between operating authorities and on-site intervention forces, ensuring that all existing privacy and data protection rules are fully respected.https://www.effector-project.eu/

ANDROMEDA aims to extend the scope of CISE for land borders. The project will leverage on the developments, results and experience of the consortium from current and previous research projects (PERSEUS, CloseEye, MARISA, RANGER).https://www.andromeda-project.eu/

Project COMPASS2020 aims to demonstrate the combined use and seamless coordination of manned and unmanned assets to achieve greater coverage, a better quality of information and shorter response times in maritime surveillance operations. By combining innovative technologies and integrating them within the current operational procedures, the COMPASS2020 solution ensures long-range and persistent surveillance, increasing the situational awareness of Coast Guards and maritime authorities and, thus, increasing the cost-effectiveness, availability and reliability of the operations.https://www.compass2020-project.eu/

CONNECTOR’s vision is to contribute to the European Integrated Border Management (EIBM) and to the EU Customs Action Plan by addressing the need of close cooperation between Customs, Border and Coast Guard Authorities within the current and upcoming challenging and demanding environment of borders’ control. This will be accomplished by further involving Customs to the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) network and Enhanced Common Information Sharing Environment (e-CISE) through the proposed Customs Extended Common Information Sharing Environment (CE-CISE) Data Model. CONNECTOR will implement an integrated, common, and shared risk assessment approach for all Border Management Authorities, considering the pan-EU common risk indicators per end user group (Customs, Border and Coast Guards Authorities including FRONTEX), to secure external EU borders from cross-border crime and ensure the seamless flow of travellers and goods.https://connector-project.eu/

Intentional dumping of polluting substances and illegal disposal of hazardous waste are examples of organised environmental crime, which can be challenging to detect and difficult to investigate. The EU-funded PERIVALLON project will combat organised environmental crime by developing innovative tools and solutions for detecting and preventing such activities as well as improving international cooperation.https://perivallon-he.eu/

POSEIDON seeks to enhance EU level actions against corruption in the ports sector, with a particular focus on corruption in major European ports.https://poseidon.safe-europe.eu/

The safety of passengers on ships represents a major concern for a ship’s security officer and crew. ISOLA will develop, integrate, test, deploy, demonstrate and validate a systematic and fully automated security approach by incorporating innovative technologies for sensing, monitoring, data fusion, alarming and reporting real-time during illegal incidents.https://isola-project.eu/
