System for detection of Threat Agents in Maritime Border Environment

Project: Research

Project Details

Goal of the project

The main objective of the SafeShore project is to cover existing gaps in coastal border surveillance, increasing internal security by preventing cross-border crime such trafficking in human beings and the smuggling of drugs.
The SafeShore core solution for detecting small targets that are flying at low altitude is to use a 3D LIDAR that scans the sky and creates above the protected area a virtual dome shield. A 3D LIDAR is integrated with passive acoustic sensors, passive radio detection and video analytics. With this 3D LIDAR technology, the SafeShore system is able to cover a vast area of the coastal border using mobile platforms. Each mobile platform covers its area with a dome-shaped virtual detection shield with a radius of about 250-300m. Overlapping multiple platforms creates a continuous detection shield along the shoreline.
