Project description
Downstream space services crisis management hub for forced population displacement
Addressing critical challenges, such as population displacement due to conflicts, compounded not only by wars, but by climate change, extreme weather events, food shortages and poverty, is crucial. The EU-funded THEIA project aims to enhance the effectiveness of existing services with geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) and machine learning, thus distributing a service via its friendly cloud platform, ready to be integraded to CSS. THEIA uses fuse, process and analysis space multi-temporal and non-space data and user intelligence, adding operational, regional and local value and improving decision making. This strengthens detection capabilities ensuring timely access to critical information, bridging the gap between operational capabilities and security demands. THEIA promotes EU-independent capabilities and technologies, contributing to the strengthening of the European space ecosystem.
Objective
Addressing critical challenges such as population displacement due to conflicts, exacerbated by factors like climate change, extreme weather events, food shortages, and poverty, remains paramount. The implementation of THEIA, integrating data fusion, processing, and analysis, particularly leveraging Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) and Machine Learning, is poised to enhance the efficacy of existing services significantly. Through the amalgamation of multi-temporal data and diverse datasets, THEIA empowers better decision-making and adapts to evolving policy and user needs. This technological advancement, bolstered by GeoAI, augments detection capabilities and ensures timely access to crucial information, bridging the gap between capabilities and stringent security demands. By integrating non-space data and end-user intelligence, THEIA’s supply chains add value not only at the operational level but also at regional and local levels, facilitating improved coordination. Furthermore, THEIA catalyzes fostering EU-independent capabilities and technologies, thereby bolstering the European space ecosystem's consolidation and ensuring the sustainable coexistence of legacy and New-Space solutions. Its services cater to a wide array of end-users, including EU entities such as SatCen and Frontex, Member State Ministries of Defence, Intelligence Agencies, Police Forces, NATO, and potentially Extra-EU National and Supranational Entities such as the United Nations.
