Cyber-secure and trusted autonomous unmanned platforms for more resilient critical infrastructure operations

Objective

HAIMDALL develops and validates an integrated EGNSS- and EO-enabled solution that strengthens the resilience and day-to-day functioning of European critical infrastructures, with a focus on ports, shipyards and utility-scale renewable energy installations. The project turns EU Space Programme services into mission-ready operational inputs for unmanned platform operations and infrastructure management workflows. HAIMDALL establishes a Space Service Integration Layer that streamlines access to Galileo and Copernicus services, harmonises interfaces, and attaches explicit provenance, timeliness and quality descriptors to deliver “space-derived observables”, including validated PNT confidence indicators (leveraging Galileo differentiators such as OSNMA and, where applicable, HAS-related quality cues) and EO-derived geospatial layers prepared for edge use. Building on these observables, HAIMDALL introduces a mission-aware assurance workflow that continuously evaluates the reliability of navigation and situational inputs against mission requirements and triggers bounded operational adaptations when service confidence degrades, supporting safe continuity in degraded, intermittent or interfered conditions. The approach is complemented by an operator-oriented command-and-control interface and secure interoperability APIs to accelerate integration into existing operational environments. HAIMDALL is demonstrated and evaluated in three real-world case studies: the Port of Thessaloniki (Greece), Arsenal do Alfeite shipyard/naval base (Portugal), and a renewable energy site operated by MORE (Greece), covering perimeter monitoring and routine inspection/condition monitoring. The project delivers a TRL7 integrated prototype, quantitative performance evidence, and replication guidance to support wider uptake of EU Space Programme services in critical infrastructure operations, strengthening European downstream innovation and market adoption.
