Objective

The creation of the Schengen area has been one of the major achievements of the EU. However, this agreement requires countries to cooperate tightly in order to keep a high level of security at their internal borders, as well as to share the responsibility of managing external borders. Such a variety of borders (land, sea and air) and current challenges requires a consistent approach to border surveillance, based on a plethora of heterogeneous assets. These can be manned or unmanned, ranging from sensors (optical, radar, IR) to unmanned platforms (UAV, UGV, USV or UUV), and need to be combined to offer an integrated situational picture of the area under surveillance and of their location. In order to effectively control their operation and manage the large amounts of data collected by them, new approaches for command and control need to be considered, allowing efficient interaction between the operator and the different assets in the field. CAMELOT proposes to develop and demonstrate different advanced command and control service modules for multiple platform domains, based on a SOA architecture that specifies internal and external interfaces, allowing the development of a modular and scalable command and control station, customisable to the user needs. This architecture can be based on results of previous studies and work or open architectures that may prove more suitable and the interfaces can take advantage of the standardisation work that has been done already. After the definition, CAMELOT partners will prototype service modules according to their expertise, background individual technologies and practitioner needs. These will be integrated progressively in specific testing along the project. This prototype development approach will culminate in 2 final demonstrations involving end users and relevant stakeholders, to achieve a maturity of TRL6 (for most individual technologies supporting the functionalities for border surveillance) and an IRL of 7 for CAMELOT.

Periodic Reporting for period 1 - CAMELOT (C2 Advanced Multi-domain Environment and Live Observation Technologies)

Reporting period: 2017-05-01 to 2018-07-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

The free movement of persons and goods within the EU has led to the gradual abolition of border controls between Member States through the Schengen agreement. This has led to new challenges concerning the security of European external borders, and the need for a more effective cooperation among Member States. At the same moment, we see an increasing rationalization of the public spending in Security, hence an increasing need for cost-effective assets.

It has been within this context that procurement for unmanned vehicles has seen a constant growth. However, up to this point, each Member State has been exploiting its own set of assets to achieve their goal of border surveillance and control. With an increasing cooperation among EU Member States, the need for new, cost-effective and standardized assets is becoming more and more evident. As new capabilities and assets become available and, as current C2 systems (some of which are proprietary, use closed interfaces and are monolithic) become older, practitioners are faced with the increasing challenge of how to integrate new assets and C2 all of them (old and new) in a coordinated and coherent way without having to invest in a completely new C2 systems built from the ground up.

CAMELOT aims at addressing these challenges by carrying out a number of activities to prototype, test and demonstrate different advanced C2 service modules for multiple platform domains based on a SoA architecture. The overarching purpose is to validate the technical and financial viability of the modules (which will be based on modifications and maturing of previous work from partners) as well as to achieve an exploitable model based on a standardized architecture with well defined interfaces. A final demonstration involving a great number of the modules is envisaged, involving end users and relevant stakeholders.
