Description du projet
Renforcer la sécurité et la sûreté des opérations portuaires européennes
Les ports très fréquentés d’Europe figurent parmi ses liens vitaux les plus importants, servant de plaques tournantes pour le commerce, la pêche et les voyages. En conséquence, les ports ont souvent besoin d’une surveillance de tous les instants pour assurer leur sécurité opérationnelle, la protection de leurs infrastructures essentielles et le contrôle de la pollution. Le projet PASSport, financé par l’UE, veut compléter les systèmes de surveillance existants en mettant en œuvre des flottes de drones pour améliorer considérablement la sûreté et la sécurité, la navigation et la surveillance de la pollution dans les ports. L’objectif consiste à améliorer sensiblement la sécurité des opérations quotidiennes, à protéger la vie des citoyens européens et à assurer la fluidité de la circulation des biens et des services dans les ports européens.
Objectif
The purpose of the PASSport (Operational Platform managing a fleet of semi-autonomous drones exploiting GNSS high Accuracy and Authentication to improve Security & Safety in port areas) is to engineer and qualify a solution extending situational awareness based on aerial fixed/ rotary wing and underwater drones to improve safety and security in port areas.
The need stems from the directive 2005/65/CE asking to complement surveillance systems for the whole port area, in order to significantly improve security and safety for daily operations implanted in port area. This result also in saving citizen lives ensuring a high and equal level of safety and security for all European ports. Around one thousand European ports fall within the scope of the directive. As a consequence, PASSport responds to the needs expressed by port authorities, harbour master and border control authorities which are active parties in the consortium and will be directly involved in the definition of the proposed solutions.
The proposed solution is intended to complement already operational platforms by extending the surveillance perimeter using a fleet of drones to provide innovation and operational support to the recognition, management and analysis of safety and security aspects of daily operations with particular attention to:
Pollution monitoring (safety)
Support to e-navigation (safety)
Critical buildings/ Infrastructures protection (security)
Protection against non-cooperative small craft approaching the port areas (security)
Underwater threats monitoring (security)
The project is expected to activate commercialisation channels based on the novelty represented by the usage of a fleet of semi-automated drones integrating Galileo services (and other sensors) for a safe and efficient guidance, navigation and control (GNC) even in a challenging environment in presence of obstacles - including buildings and other ground assets - and potentially unfavourable weather conditions.
