Project description
New platform to enhance law enforcement operations
Technological solutions for investigations and global cooperation are often fragmented and myopic, focusing on narrow functions within their own boundaries without ensuring interoperability and international cooperation. The EU-funded AVALANCHE project aims to address these limitations by developing a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary, high-tech, and adaptable platform. The project seeks to enhance the operational capabilities of law enforcement agencies in detecting, analysing, tracking, investigating, and preventing cross-border illicit activities. It will provide tools for evidence collection, promote interoperability with national and international databases, and validate the platform in diverse business scenarios to assess its societal and market impact. Additionally, the project will develop training curricula.
Objective
AVALANCHE Vision: While technological solutions for investigations and global cooperation do exist, they are mostly fragmented and myopic focusing on providing very narrow and isolated functions within their own boundaries without ensuring interoperability and international cooperation. To alleviate the limitations of existing solutions, AVALANCHE aims to make transformative steps towards the development of a highly innovative, holistic, multi-disciplinary, high-tech, and versatile solution for significantly increasing/broadening the operational capabilities of LEAs in their struggle to detect, analyse, track, investigate and prevent cross-border illicit activities of high-risk criminal networks, migrant smuggling, firearms, drugs, child exploitation, terrorism, cyber and intellectual property crime coordinated through the digital world. Building on Pillars I and II, the AVALANCHE platform will offer tools for semi-automatic collection of evidence to foster explainable investigations and reasoning through intelligence-led methods and contextual-aware gleaning of actions. Also, building on Pillar III, the AVALANCHE platform will provide interoperable systems and interconnection with national and international databases through common standards, data and schemas alignment, and mediation to foster information exchange and international cooperation. To guarantee the wide SMEs solutions adoption by the actual practitioners, AVALANCHE will produce training curricula, benchmark with Europol’s Innovation Lab, contribute to LEAs operational standards and establish a broad ecosystem of crime-relevant stakeholders, and complement its objectives by continuously receiving guidance from the EU Policy Instrument (EMPACT). Finally, AVALANCHE will validate the integrated platform through a demonstration in diverse business scenarios of HP that cover key operational domains (from cross-border illicit activities to antisemitism, and more) with notable societal and market impact.
