CLOSEYE VIP Event
Event held at GC Headquarters (Madrid), on the 30th of September 2015
Objectives: ◦ Formal opening of the operational experimentation stage to be carried out at the Alboran Sea Scenario (Op. INDALO 2015) ◦ Disseminate the results achieved so far during, including as well the result of the first operational campaign conducted in Italian waters during June and July
Participants ◦ Project Partners; ◦ MS Authorities; ◦ European Commission; ◦ EU Agencies; ◦ Industry

CLOSEYE Phase 3
Provisional assessment: ◦ The level of satisfaction of the CLOSEYE partners with the developments carried out by the contractors is high: Some solutions show high performance and readiness Some solutions seem promising but still immature
◦ Validation of surveillance technologies in real operational scenarios has proved to be the only way to guarantee a realistic assessment on the operational relevance of such technologies; ◦ The outcomes of the project shall provide valuable data for other EU authorities, policy makers and industry on: Which technologies are ready for their operational stage; What research lines should be tackled in the future in order to improve the maturity of technologies which are potentially good for improving EU’s maritime border surveillance capabilities.

CLOESYE Phase 3
Provisional assessment (2):
The tasks required to conduct realistic pre-operational validation activities resemble very much to those associated to the acquisition of a fully operational system; The introduction of new technologies in daily operations is extremely complex and demands strong efforts from operators; The efforts incurred by Users and Contractors for the integration of the new technologies has been much higher than expected; Security constraints are critical for the integration of preoperational systems and technologies, and represents one of the major obstacles for the conduction of pre-operational validation activities;
Both Users and Industry have seen as very positive the close cooperation that took place during the POV contract, and it shall reverberate on a higher visibility of the demand and of the offer in the EU security market. CLOSEYE POV May 2016

Conclusions
The CLOSEYE experience has been seen as positive by all participants (users, partners, industry). Strong points: ◦ Harmonization of vision, criteria, procedures and terminology for a common challenge;
◦ Harmonization of common methods and tools; ◦ Improved cooperation mechanisms among users from different Member States, and also between the supply side and the demand side: Building a more solid market. “A strong effort has been made in consolidating a common understanding of the problem, which makes potential solutions valid also for other Users and applications (Common Application of Surveillance Tools)” CLOSEYE POV May 2016

20
Conclusions
Margin for improvement: ◦ At programme level: Improve the research strategy in maritime surveillance; Improve the tools available for the users to participate in the innovation cycle. ◦ At Cooperation level: A stronger support from EC bodies and Agencies is required at different stages of the project (needs assessment, tendering process, operations, assessment…) More awareness on the project model and its particularities is required among Public Authorities, End Users, Industry and Commission;

LOT 1 - SOLUTION 1
CLOSEYE Project LOT1 Solution 1 Details
CLOSEYE Project LOT1 SOL 1 - Integration of EO SAT surveillance chain Integration of enhanced change detection and vessels detection services into the CNISM environment to contribute to COP content;
SAT Processor demonstrates its capabilities in the preliminary test in June-July 2015
CLOSEYE Project LOT1 SOL 1 RPAS as OPV extended sensing capabilities
Extend the sensing capability (detection and reconnaissance) and reaction capabilities
RPAS
Rationale for the Lot1 - Solution 1 • Satellite imagery has been selected to reduce the surveillance cost and to provide complementary data to the existing land and air based surveillance solutions • RPAS from OPV is key to get projection and fast reaction surveillance capabilities resulting in cost saving • Both improvements are key as gap filler for deep sea surveillance
LOT 1 - SOLUTION 2
CLOSEYE Project LOT1 Solution 2 Details
Solution 2 improves the situational awareness in Central Mediterranean waters with specific focus on the Sicily channel by means of: • MRI patrolling: • Enhanced Communication capabilities • Video and Tracks Data Transmission from detected targets
• Passive DVBT Radar detections: • Behavioural analysis tools: Solutions and added value services Integrated at CNISM level
MPA MRI The P2006T MRI is a cost-effective aerial solution for the limitations of current surveillance systems which allows to cover terrestrial and maritime areas. Key Features of MRI Detection, tracking and identification of targets Minimum operational costs Simple and economic maintenance Modular and flexible architecture New upgrade: Satellite communication for video transmission

CLOSEYE Project LOT1 SOL 2 - Integration at CNISM Level
Rationale for the Lot1 - Solution 2 • High level of innovation either in terms of technologies (passive radar) and new concepts for aerial patrolling (price/performance) • Technologies have been selected to cope with the specific Central Med surveillance requirements addressing surveillance cost reduction, green compatibility, mobility and projection for installation on coastal areas • No limit to apply such solution in other European context. DVBT signal is everywhere as well as small airport
