HIDE TopicsTechnology Convergence, System Interoperability, Contextual Integrity, Outsourcing of Surveillance
Name Security system for maritime infrastructures, ports and coastal zones
Acronym SECTRONIC
Area SEC-2007-2.3-04 Small area 24 hours surveillance
Start Date2008-02-01
Duration 36 months
Status Execution
DescriptionThe SECTRONIC initiative addresses observation and protection of critical maritime infrastructures; Passenger and goods transport, Energy supply, and Port infrastructures. All accessible means of observation (offshore, onshore, air, space) of those infrastructures are exchanged via an onshore control centre. The end-users themselves or permitted third-parties can access a composite of infrastructure observations in real-time. The end-users will be able to protect the infrastructure by non-lethal means in the scenario of a security concerned situation.
The proposed system is a 24h small area surveillance system that is designed to be used on any ship, platform, container/oil/gas terminal or harbour. The initiative is an end-users driven R&D activity. The end-users represent the major market player in each of the three infrastructures: Passenger transport, Energy production, Energy transport, Commercial ports and Combined military/commercial ports.
