It is our pleasure to announce that the third demonstration of ROBORDER in Greece was executed successfully the previous week (28/06-01/07). The scope of the demonstration was to validate in different scenarios under real conditions for maritime operations, the main system’s readiness towards the early detection of unauthorized sea border crossing, the immediate briefing and dispatch of the directly-involved units and the surveillance of specific areas in order to detect and analyse incidents of illegal vessel movements. ...

We are happy to announce the second demonstration of ROBORDER in Bulgaria, concerning the identification of specific illegal activities occurred at remote border territories. The demonstration and operational tests will be executed the entire week (21/06-25/06) where the main system will be validated in different scenarios under real operational scenarios....

We are happy to announce our collaboration with the European BorderUAS project. This collaboration will be an opportunity to brainstorm between the concepts and operations of the two projects, exchange ideas and transfer knowledge such as ontology-based technologies. Furthermore, common disseminating activities will be encouraged, introducing the outcomes of the ROBORDER project to a wider range of potential and relevant users. Stay tuned for more!...

ILEAnet, one of ROBORDER’s related projects, is organizing a Public Workshop on Standardisation in security research. The objective of this event is to better understand the benefits of standardisation in security research and reflect on ways to facilitate the involvement of law enforcement practitioners in standardisation activities and in Research & Innovation. The public workshop is addressed to LEAs, standardisation professionals, academics and security solution providers. In case you are interested in this topic, you are more than welcome to register via email to the ILEAnet Scientific Coordination at: ensp-ileanet@interieur.gouv.fr Once registered, you will be sent closer to the date a link to the secure “Go To Meeting” conference platform.

We are delighted about our contribution to the iProcureNet workshop on Tuesday, 11/05/2021. iProcureNet aims to create an ecosystem of procurers, prescribers, legal advisors and other key stakeholders of security procurement, to share procurement trends and needs and open pathways for innovation in procurement and joint procurement across EU member states. The goal of the workshop was to present the ROBORDER system to iProcureNet Partners, National iPOCs and other invited iProcureNet partners. Based on the presentation iProcureNet will identify potential interest for joint procurement of the presented system. Questions regarding the goal, innovations and services developed, as well as, TRL level of ROBORDER products were answered....

CISE, the Common Sharing Environment for Maritime Domain, aims to facilitate the information exchange across sectors and borders, ensuring the safety of human lives, by providing efficient communication and crisis management. However, the adoption of CISE is substantially limited by its existing serialization. Thus, the EUCISE-OWL is presented, an ontology representation of the CISE data model that capitalizes on the benefits provided by ontologies and aims to encourage the adoption of CISE. Learn more about EUCISE-OWL, through our publication in the Semantic Web Journal, in the framework of the ROBORDER project....

Check out this article about exploitation of Roborder’s technology in environmental protection and marine life preservation. The exercise simulated an eco-friendly spill in Portuguese waters, which was detected and analyzed using artificial intelligence systems. During the exercise, the capabilities of unmanned aerial and aquatic systems for the management of sea pollutant discharges were tested, creating the path for similar activities to be scheduled in other European scenarios in 2021....

Don’t miss iLEAnet’s project uptake webinar, in which ROBORDER will participate on March 30th, 2021. In this webinar, practitioners will have the opportunity to start a conversation with ROBORDER’s coordinator, on how they can use the project’s produced solutions. They will be able to ask questions on the range of unmanned sensor devices ROBORDER is using, how they can be coordinated and deployed on the field, review these technologies and obtain answers to key organisational questions such as deployment conditions/constraints, training requirements, technology, costs etc… All are welcome to join us in this event, however, this webinar might be of more interest to Border Guard Authorities, Decision Makers and organization that use/deploy border technologies. For more information, you can find the webinar's leaflet here For registration and project information pack please contact: ensp-ileanet@interieur.gouv.fr...

ROBORDER has successfully conducted its first on-the-field demonstration of the system  in Portugal on 16-19/11/2020. The team tested the system’s operability in a simulated crisis that involved the detection of an oil spill in the Atlantic Ocean.  Due to the current circumstances, the demonstration was safely conducted with limited participation of key partners while the rest of the consortium joined their efforts via the live stream session that was initiated at the beginning of each day....
