FOCUS AREA: port security, acoustic detection, autonomous underwater vehicles, artificial intelligence  

The project integrates advanced systems, combining port security infrastructure, cutting-edge underwater detection methods and vigilant surveillance vessels. This approach incorporates acoustic detection, rapid sonar hull scans, high-resolution sonar inspections and the collective action of autonomous underwater vehicles. These elements join forces to empower artificial intelligence modules, ultimately fortifying the capacity to safeguard ports and identify concealed threats in vessels.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101121129.
