BES-1-2014: BES-1-2014: 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.
Proposal Concept
>
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

What we can offer
> Define the primary levels of operational performance demanded by the end users in
order to enhance the surveillance capabilities and increase the degree of security
> Describe all the technical specifications for the development of the system
> Take over the system integration
> Develop improved data fusion algorithms and algorithms for the automatic detection
of patterns, behaviors and situations, and presentation of data in a coherent,
consistent and interoperable way in order to support the decision process
> Strong Cooperation with the Hellenic Coast Guard and the Hellenic Ministry of
Defense
> We can offer Application Development capabilities (Web, Desktop, Mobile)
> We posses strong experience in the dissemination of projects results. Furthermore,
we are willing to design dissemination material in the form of brochures, flyers etc,
host workshops and provide our video production capabilities.
