If you are a HAP manufacturer dealing with fragmented sensor data — this project developed a multitasking surveillance platform that clusters high altitude technology with satellites and UAVs to create a joint capability.
Integrated Multi-Sensor Surveillance Platform for Border and Maritime Security
Imagine a giant digital eye in the sky that combines satellites, high-flying balloons, and drones into one screen. Instead of different agencies looking at different maps, everyone sees the same real-time picture of the ocean and coast. It uses smart software to spot illegal activity, like smuggling or poaching, much faster than humans could alone.
What needed solving
Border authorities struggle with fragmented data from different sensors, making it hard to track human trafficking and illegal fishing in real-time across different national jurisdictions.
What was built
A modular, open-architecture surveillance platform that integrates HAPs, satellites, UAVs, and ground sensors with AI-driven analytics.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are a technology provider dealing with illegal fishing and smuggling — this project developed an open architecture that integrates existing maritime surveillance systems to improve operational efficiency.
If you are an analytics firm dealing with massive amounts of raw sensor data — this project developed AI and visualization innovations to automate risk assessment for wide area border surveillance.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for this platform?
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or cost information is provided as this was an EU-funded research initiative.
Can this be scaled to industrial levels?
The project focuses on a wide area surveillance capability using a modular architecture, suggesting it is designed for large-scale deployment across EU borders.
Who owns the IP and how is licensing handled?
Based on available project data, the specific IP and licensing terms are not listed, though it utilizes an open architecture to allow for collaborative operation.
How does it integrate with existing systems?
The platform is designed for CISE and VDES interoperability, allowing it to integrate with various existing and future maritime surveillance systems.
What is the implementation timeline?
The project period runs from 2022-10-01 to 2025-09-30.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily weighted toward commercial application, with 8 industry partners (36% ratio) and 6 SMEs. The presence of 22 partners across 13 countries indicates a strong cross-border validation strategy, blending academic research (2 universities, 4 research centers) with practical industrial implementation.
