SMI2G Brokerage Event, January | Brussels, Belgium BES : BES : Maritime Border Security topic 1: radar systems for the surveillance of coastal and pre-frontier areas and in support of search and rescue operations > The system should make it possible to more effectively detect and support reaction to SAR activities, through the early tracking of the “intruder”, paying special attention to detection and tracking of small unseaworthy vessels. > Plan more efficiently the use of SAR performing manpower to help people being in danger at sea. > The project would contribute further to the development of the European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) and the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) at sea.

SMI2G Brokerage Event, January | Brussels, Belgium Proposal Concept BES > The project will approach the system development and interoperability at different levels: single technology, integrated platform (HW, SW and communications), integrated system (including segments and control ground station) and connection with the responsible public entities for a timely deployment of SAR resources. The project aims to: > Assess end-user-driven requirements and develop a suitable architecture for the integrated system > Develop technological solutions (sensors, sensor data processing, platforms, systems) to extend surveillance coverage beyond current monitoring capabilities > Perform an extensive set of trials. Test will be performed on realistic SAR scenarios Proposed Work Package Breakdown Structure WP 1 – Project Management: WP 2 – Requirements and Scenarios: This work package will focus on development of system architecture which will be based on user requirements, concept of operations and SAR scenarios. WP 3 – Radar Sensors Development and System Integration WP 4 – Evaluation and Trials/System Validation: WP4 will perform the evaluation of the proposed solution against realistic Maritime SAR scenarios. WP 5 – Dissemination and Exploitation: WP 6 – Societal, Legal and Ethical Aspects.
