FRONTEX
• EU agency – ”to coordinate activities related to border management”
• Independant legal body with management board of MS ’border chiefs’
• 298 staff and growing• Operational in Warsaw since Oct. 05
Council Regulation (EC) 2007/2004/ (26.10.2004, OJ L 349/25.11.2004)
Mission”While considering that the responsibility for the control and surveillance of external borders lies with the Member States, the Agency shall facilitate and render more effective the application of existing and future Community measures relating to the management of external borders.”
“…contributing to an efficient, high and uniform level of control on persons and surveillance of the external borders…”

END-USER NEEDS
◊ Platforms and sensors for the collection of data and information
◊ 24/7 all weather surveillance border and pre-frontier◊ Platforms and sensors to facilitate interception◊ Systems to exchange information◊ Systems to exploit the information and react quickly
to evolving threats
All the above: Affordable and Integrable

Current main challenge: Detection & tracking of small boats, used for cross-border crime & irregular migration
241 search and rescue cases and 23,192 lives saved fromFrontex coordinated assets were involved in saving 64 persons per day.

Support to planning of joint operations Identification and monitoring of long range
migration routes Topographic information updatingAnalysis(border vulnerability and
permeability, cross country mobility, economical situation of MS, etc)
Evaluate the easiness of walking in specific terrain and time needed to cross specific distance
Identification of the areas that can be reach by walking person in definite
periods of time
RPAS for Rapid Mapping
12 19.04.2023
Satellites and RPA for border surveillance• Satellites with imaging
radar (SAR) or optical sensors are useful for intelligence gathering, but not for real time tracking
• RPA have potential but must prove :
◊cost effectiveness compared to manned flights
◊integration into normal airspace
13 19.04.2023
PRAS - rolesSEA SURVEILLANCE MISSION
◊ wide area surveillance◊ detection at longer distances◊ detection of smaller vessels, fast vessels (speedboats) ◊ reconnaissance missions to coastline spots◊ identification of suspicious objects◊ SAR missions
◊ all weather and day/night conditions◊ long endurance, speed and altitude adaptability
◊ providing real- and near real- time operational data◊ integration with other existing surveillance networks (radars,
satellite .. )◊ share/operate PRAS synthesize operational information, ◊ efficiency and costs
◊ radar sensors, optical sensors or possibly imaging radar. ◊ AIS, SIGINT
14 19.04.2023
PRAS - rolesLAND SURVEILLANCE MISSION
◊ detection of human presence and vehicles at the borders◊ all weather and day/night conditions◊ different lengths of the border to deal with◊ different topographical / climate characteristics
◊ providing real- and near real- time operational data◊ integration with other existing surveillance networks
(radars, satellite .. )
◊ optical sensors (EO/FLIR HD)

Conclusions
●Frontex works closely with the Commission and MSs in the development of EUROSUR
●RPAS could play a significant role in EUROSUR
RPAS do not replace manned aviation, but make it possible to accomplish missions that would not be possible with manned aircraft (long and very long endurance).
●RPAs have potential• Maritime surveillance• Long range and long endurance• Land
●RPAs need to prove• Usefulness (legal / insertion into civil airspace)• Cost-effectiveness
