SURVEIRON is a drone-based information system aimed to manage critical situations. This system is able to detect and analyse risks in urban settings and automatically recommend security managers the decisions to be made, as quickly as possible to neutralise those risks. SURVEIRON is divided into two well-differentiated subsystems:
* SUBSYSTEM 1 - DRONE FLEET: It is a set of drones which, in case of emergency, will fly automatically to the affected area and gather all the available information.
* SUBSYSTEM 2 - CONTROL CENTRE. It is a centralised system where drones send the information and from which the affected area can be monitored. In this control centre, all the information of the area is summarized, detecting automatically different hazards (fires, cracks, people, smoke, radioactivity and toxic gases), assessing their magnitude and allowing the persons in charge to make decisions to have the best information available.
The management of critical situations in urban settings has recently become especially relevant within the European Union. For this reason, critical infrastructure protection has become a big challenge for the UE and also globally. SURVEIRON is a solution aimed to manage critical situations in urban settings quickly and to help to solve a serious problem that endangers the freedom and security of European citizens. In a worldwide dimension, SURVEIRON will also help to solve social problems of great importance.
The general objective of SURVEIRON is to validate and prepare for commercialization, over a period of two years, a prototype of an innovative surveillance system based on drone fleets. In order to access the market successfully, the prototype will fulfil the operational, practical, legal, economic and technical feasibility requirements. The expected outcome of the project will be the introduction of a new product and several associated disruptive surveillance services in the market. The value proposition of this product and services are not related to drone technology. The detected need, which SURVEIRON fulfils, is its capability to automatically analyse the environment and to propose different courses of action to be taken in a quick, easy, safe and affordable way to help human decision makers in their tasks. This is done with innovative analysis and decision tools technologies, already developed and tested by AEORUM. Furthermore, several improvements will be included in the drone fleet in charge of acquiring the data in order to assure the operative safety. SURVEIRON will be commercialised as a security solution on an international level through a breaking-ground innovative strategy. Its value proposition is based on 5 factors: technology merit, experienced team, powerful partnerships, business potential and attractive solutions.
