Objectives of the Research Project
The I2C integration project proposes for 2015 a new generation of innovative sea border
surveillance systems implementing key existing and in development capacities to track all vessel movements
to early identify and report on threats associated with detected suspicious events. These key capacities are:
- Shore based sensors platform grouping new sensor technologies; long range HFSW radar,
FMCW radar to track small crafts (both prototypes are in experimentation), AIS stations
and conventional coastal radar. This platform performs a permanent all weather traffic
surveillance over wide maritime zone up to 200 nautical miles.
- Deployable sensors platforms to perform local node observation campaigns to complete
shore based surveillance. Four equipped platforms are deployed; aircraft and vessel patrols,
USV and Zeppelin, which offers absolute quiet flight with no vibration for high resolution
observation quality and a payload of 2 tons for sensors and communication devices.
- Capacity for a common operational traffic picture to correlate vessels tracks from shore
based and deployable sensors plots.
- Capacity for common intelligent operational traffic picture appending to vessel tracks
information on performed activities, flags, sea state conditions, regulations, etc.
- Capacity to detect abnormal vessel behaviours and automatically issue alarms to operator
for validation. Detection is based on multi-parameter rules and detection engines.
- Capacity to understand suspicious events, identify threats early and issue periodically
interpretation files to authorities for decision.
- Capacity to transfer useful data sets through a communication network based on
Distributed Systems intercommunication Protocol (DSiP) and VSAT/Digital Video Broadcast
technologies.
More specifically, SMAC will use the AMAS technology to find new algorithms able to learn
and detect abnormal vessel behaviours from the common intelligent operational traffic picture.
Documented alarms will also be generated automatically for operational validation.
I2C is one of the projects made in collaboration with the European Commission’s JRC (Joint Research Centre)
