Global Maritime Services Ltd is looking for partners to work on HORIZON-CL3-2024-BM-01-02

Global Maritime Services Ltd specializes in marine consulting/end user advising. Our team includes Master Mariners/Captains with over 30+ years in the LNG/FSRU industry. Since 2008, we have taken part in 8 large projects funded by Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe. We have designated personnel for proposal writing. In addition to full scale marine advising, we can also provide administrative support for coordination, IPR, and other admin R&D tasks. 

Interoperability for border and maritime surveillance and situational awareness

TOPIC ID: HORIZON-CL3-2024-BM-01-02

Programme: Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON)
Call: Border Management 2024 (HORIZON-CL3-2024-BM-01)

ExpectedOutcome:
Projects’ results are expected to contribute to some or all of the following outcomes:

Increased border surveillance capability, better performing and more cost-efficient, with data and fundamental rights protection by design;
Improved surveillance and situational awareness of sea borders, but also of maritime infrastructures as harbours and commercial and civilian maritime security, including in key areas such as the Arctic;
Improved multi-level, multi-authority and cross-border (among Member States and Associated Countries practitioners) collaboration thanks to better interoperability of sensing, analysis and C2 systems.
Scope:
Authorities performing surveillance of maritime borders and maritime wide areas use a range of technologies, and receive a range of information, to monitor wide areas, detect threats or crises, and respond to them. However, these inputs are not always merged into common command-and-control (C2) systems that can inform rapid decision-making.

The proposed solution(s) should allow improved interoperability (at both back-end and front-end levels), independently of the supplier of the equipment, and ideally interchangeability that enables exchange of information among authorities that use different systems. Compatibility and integration with other information sharing environments, including the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) is essential in order to support the cross-sectoral and cross-border exchange of information.

The proposed solution(s) can include the design of open architecture C2 systems, including open standards for APIs and bias-free data models.

The proposed solution(s) should enable simultaneous connection of different sensors (or of different data, or of different assets, depending by the module) by different suppliers, the flexible tasking and monitoring of surveillance assets like RPAS, and the visualization and manipulation of the data in a single user interface in a seamless way. This will support practitioners to exploit their technology stack in an agnostic way.
