Project details

Project astract Security has risen high on the agenda of civilian decision making as a consequence of the<br/>terrorism, trafficking, organized crime and international developments of the post Cold War<br/>era. Security is particularly relevant for Europe with increasingly open borders and<br/>vulnerable transport and energy infrastructure.<br/>LIMES has the goal to define and develop prototype information services, based on satellite<br/>technology, to support security management at EU and global level in the following<br/>thematic/policy areas of interest:<br/>1) Organization and distribution of humanitarian aid & reconstruction<br/>2) Surveillance of the EU borders (land and sea)<br/>3) Surveillance and protection of maritime transport for sensitive cargo<br/>4) Protection against emerging security threats (e.g. terrorism, illegal trafficking,<br/>proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction)<br/><br/>The services developed by LIMES will support the building up of a common cooperation<br/>framework between the major EU research and operational actors on Security management.
