H2020 Call BES-02-2015 Maritime Border Security Topic 2: Affordable and easily deployable technologies for EU coastal border surveillance with reduced impact on the environment
Specific challenge◦ The use of low cost and “green” technologies is expected to become mandatory for
future border control systems in environmentally sensitive areas. Systems of passive (or low emission) radar technologies or other relevant technologies provide promising results for the detection of targets in areas that cannot be covered by active systems. Passive systems fit this application, due to electromagnetic invisibility, lower detectability and cost and the possibility of use practically anywhere.
◦ R&D is needed to better apply this technology maritime surveillance, also in combination with other systems, and using the signals coming from existing systems. The technology should be developed, taking into account validated risk assessment methodologies.

H2020 Call BES-02-2015 Maritime Border Security Scope
◦ further development of devices and sensors for maritime targets and environment (e.g. fit for mobile platforms) easily deployable on field and with limited impact on spectrum environment.
◦ development of specific, early identification, tracking and fusion algorithms◦ operation in network configurations together with other systems for improved
performances

◦ The impact of the research will be benchmarked against the potential for integration of novel technology into current border surveillance systems in order to redress its limitations. Projects should fit concepts of operations set for missions involving multiple Member States border surveillance/security organisations. This topic would contribute further to the development of the European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) and the CISE. Innovations shall be able to seamlessly cooperate and interface with existing infrastructure supporting the CISE constituent communities.
◦ The outcome of the proposal is expected to lead to development up to Technology Readiness Level TRL 5 (prototype)

Legitimate use of UAV for deliveries Commercial drones and UAVs are an affordable technology that started to be used in pilot projects for delivery of goods.
Such a pilot project has been run by Amazon for parcel deliveries since 2014, under the name of Amazon Prime Air.
UAVs have been used in proof-of-concept projects to deliver first-aid equipment in case of emergencies. Such a project has been run by TU Delft University in Netherlands.

The Problem – Illegal use of UAVs UAVs can be used for smuggling items over borders or in restricted areas, in order to avoid detection of illegal items or to avoid taxing.
Such a UAV has been found crashed in Tijuana, Mexico, on 20 January 2015 (see photo), while carrying high risk drugs.
Another incident occurred in Japan on 9 April 2015, when a drone was used to deliver a container containing radioactive material on the roof of the Japan’s Prime Minster’s residence. Image source http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/man-

Our Solution Proposal SafeShore
◦ System for detection of low altitude drones, which can be used in unauthorized surveillance and offensive actions (delivery of explosive charges or small projectile attacks), launched from boats, ships or land, in border area harbours, in coast radar locations, at river border crossings and on-board oil platforms and large ships.
◦ The system can be used as◦ stationary point protection in harbour areas, at river border crossing, to detect both against
remotely delivered explosives or chemical weapons, and against border trafficking of illegal substances (drugs)
◦ stationary point protection for coast radars, against remotely delivered explosive charges◦ stationary chain-of-detectors along high-risk border areas, to provide long term protection in
areas with persistent problems◦ mobile deployable system that can be used in areas where intelligence predicts probable
illegal or threatening actions.
CONFIDENTIAL
Technology We propose to develop a system that can use multiple commercially available detection technologies to ensure detection of low-altitude flying drones and small boats.◦ Laser ranging (LIDAR) detection of small drones at low altitude, where radars cannot
ensure detection due to altitude radar limitation and small radar cross section of the target
◦ Passive acoustic detection, to offer a complementary detection technology that is not affected by the same adverse effects as the laser scanner, and to provide means for acoustic target classification
◦ Visible and thermal CCTV target classification, to provide means of verifying the detection and classifying the target based on its aspect; classification result will be combined with the acoustic target classification result
◦ Passive radio communication detection and localization of remote control stations on sea or land, by passive spectrum monitoring and triangulation

Adaptability to Other Uses Protection of Critical Infrastructure
◦ Rogue drones can be used to deliver explosive charges or CBRN agents as part of a terrorist attack against Critical Infrastructure sites
◦ Early detection of such drones can be used in combination with various counter- drone measures (entanglement nets, ballistic)
Protection of government officials◦ Drones are a risk factor in case of public events where government officials or other
VIPs can be the target of attacks using drones as means of delivery◦ Early detection of such drones can be used in combination with various counter- drone
measures (entanglement nets, ballistic) or evacuation measures
