Project description
Strengthening Europe’s critical infrastructure resilience
Europe’s power grids, energy sites, and transmission lines face increasing threats from natural disasters and climate change. Disruptions can have broad impacts, from widespread blackouts and economic losses to compromised emergency services and public safety. However, monitoring these systems in real time is not easy. With this in mind, the EU-funded RESIST project combines a flexible, ultra-persistent drone platform with Copernicus satellite imagery. This provides continuous, multi-mission monitoring of critical infrastructure. RESIST’s goal is to help with emergency response, improve security, and support climate adaptation efforts. Tested in Cyprus, Portugal, and Spain, this approach aims to make Europe’s essential networks more resilient against escalating risks.
Objective
The aim of the RESIST project is to enhance the resilience of large scale interconnected critical infrastructures, thanks to the combination of the Skydweller, a versatile ultra-persistent sustainable platform fitted with high end performing sensors and the Copernicus satellite imagery (optical and radar imagery (Synthetic-aperture radar, SAR)). This solution will support critical infrastructures operators and crisis managers across EU territories before, during, and after disasters. The project will involve key European Civil Protection Authorities, Critical Infrastructure Operators, technology providers, universities and security foundations to build the most relevant and effective solution.
RESIST will provide (i) a multi-missions capacity, (ii) the ability to perform a persistent or an aleatory monitoring of critical infrastructures, (iii) relevant data to actualize emergency plans and strengthen critical infrastructures security, (iv) a reaction and coordination capacity, in case of the occurrence of a disaster, (v) support climate adaptation strategies and plans in place at different levels across Europe and neighbour countries (whenever applicable).
The resilience enhancement of large scale interconnected critical infrastructures will be approached through three particular use cases dealing with transmission lines monitoring in Spain, electricity production and distribution infrastructure monitoring in Portugal and surveillance of a strategic hydrocarbons site in Cyprus (simulated use case).
