Descripción del proyecto
Una tecnología para una mejor vigilancia de las fronteras marítimas
Fortalecer las fronteras exteriores y luchar contra el tráfico de personas y drogas son dos de los objetivos principales de la Unión Europea. A pesar de las cuantiosas inversiones en el sector de la vigilancia, la vigilancia marítima no ha alcanzado los niveles deseados de efectividad. El proyecto COMPASS2020, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene por objetivo demostrar que el uso coordinado de tecnologías y herramientas tripuladas y no tripuladas, tanto de cobertura aérea como bajo el agua, logra mejores resultados en lo que respecta a tipos de operaciones, recogida de información y reacción rápida a necesidades de vigilancia marítima. El proyecto ofrecerá soluciones operacionales rentables y fiables a la guardia costera y a las autoridades marítimas para lograr una mayor conciencia situacional del espacio.
Objetivo
The external borders of the EU have historically been under great pressure, subject to a variety of threats, which include irregular migration and trafficking of narcotics. Within this context, authorities in charge of border and maritime patrol are faced with different challenges that include the heterogeneity of the traffic that undertakes illegal activities in European waters, limitations in the ability to collect and share timely available data among institutional organizations, as well as a lack of assets by the relevant authorities to cover the wide maritime areas under their mandate. Although there has been an expressive investment done in the domain of surveillance technologies and tools, the intake by the competent authorities has been slow, due to lack of uniformity in the integration of such systems with existing surveillance infrastructures. In order to address these challenges, project COMPASS2020 aims to demonstrate the combined use and seamless coordination of manned and unmanned assets to achieve greater coverage, better quality of information and shorter response times in maritime surveillance operations. The proposed solution will be based on an innovative CONOPS that makes use of multiple aerial and underwater unmanned vehicles with improved capabilities, deployed from OPVs or from land, and will be supported by a central, multi-domain and interoperable Mission System (MS) that enables the operation of these platforms from both locations. UxVs may act as deported ship sensors, providing critical mission data to the MS that can then be exploited through dedicated services to be developed in the scope of the project (e.g. Data Fusion and Threat Risk Analysis). The major goal of COMPASS2020 is to demonstrate an operational solution to ensure 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.
