Description du projet
Naviguer vers un meilleur système d’alerte de sécurité des navires
La grande majorité (80 %) du commerce mondial repose sur le transport maritime. Ce secteur est confronté à plusieurs défis en matière de sûreté, de sécurité et de protection de l’environnement. Les principales préoccupations concernent la piraterie et les opérations de sauvetage. La technologie GNSS offre un large éventail d’applications répondant aux besoins de l’industrie du transport maritime. Le système Galileo propose de nouveaux atouts et de nouvelles fonctionnalités par rapport aux autres systèmes GNSS. Le projet GAMBAS, financé par l’UE, se concentrera sur la modernisation de la balise anti-piraterie Cospas-Sarsat du système d’alerte de sécurité des navires et sur le développement de solutions pour les opérateurs et les navires de sauvetage. Le projet expliquera en quoi les caractéristiques spécifiques de Galileo sont essentielles pour le secteur maritime, proposera des applications et soutiendra les démonstrations en mer, en Europe et au-delà.
Objectif
Galileo-based solutions for a better surveilled, safer and more secure sea
Maritime transportation is a backbone of the worldwide economic growth, representing 80% of the worldwide merchant traffic, and a major domain of human and nature activity.
The improvement of maritime safety and security has always been a major concern for the global community, and, in the last decades, the protection of environment and the resilience to climate change effects have also appeared in the overall scope.
Considering the size of the maritime domain and the potentially large distances to coasts, the GNSS is a core technology of maritime systems. Getting the best possible information from on-board GNSS receivers and more generally GNSS applications (including Search-and-Rescue payloads and short-messaging capabilities of GNSS satellites) is then beneficial to the maritime community for a minimum additional investment.
Galileo system is bringing new assets and functionalities, in particular compared to other GNSS constellations, which appears to be particularly relevant for the maritime community.
The objective of the GAMBAS project is to highlight how Galileo specific features can benefit to maritime domain, to propose implementations and to support demonstrations and disseminations of associated services, for the benefit of maritime domain in terms of security, safety, protection of environment and resilience to major catastrophic events.
The project will in particular address the modernization of SSAS Cospas-Sarsat anti-piracy beacon, with unique Galileo return-link features, and the development of solutions for rescue operators and for the vessels to use Galileo robustness to jamming and spoofing (including authentication) and the expected future Emergency Warning Service. The solution will be supported by demonstration at sea, in Europe (Greece and Spain) and outside Europe.
