The European R&D project Improved maritime awareness by means of AI and BD methods (PROMENADE) is co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program, under grant agreement number 101021673.
The European Union concentrated a large part of its research and innovation activities in the previous Framework Program called Horizon 2020 (H2020). In the 2014-2020 period and through the implementation of three pillars, it has contributed to address major societal challenges, promote industrial leadership in Europe and strengthen the excellence of its science base.
The Horizon 2020 Program has integrated for the first time all phases from knowledge generation to activities closer to the market: basic research, technology development, demonstration projects, pilot manufacturing lines, social innovation, technology transfer, proof of concept, standardization, support for pre-commercial public procurement, venture capital and guarantee system.
The PROMENADE R&D project applies Artificial Intelligence and Big Data technologies to enhance the development of a set of state-of-the-art tools that enable a better understanding of the maritime domain by providing advanced solutions for early detection and accurate tracking of vessels, behavioral analysis and automatic anomaly detection. In addition, the project also aims to promote collaboration and information exchange between maritime surveillance authorities, Coast and Border Guard, etc. by providing technologies and solutions that have the potential to be used in different European border scenarios.
The Isdefe team participating in the project as a member of the consortium is coordinated by Raquel Pastor Pastor from Isdefe’s Defense and Security Technologies Department.
