Project summaryThe SECTRONIC initiative addresses observation and protection of critical maritime infrastructures. All accessible means of observation (offshore, onshore, air, space) are exchanged via an onshore control center. The end-users themselves or permitted third-parties can access a composite of infrastructure observations in real-time.
The end-users will be able to protect the infrastructure by protective means in the scenario of a security concerned situation. The proposed system is a 24h small area surveillance system that is designed to be used on any ship, platform, container/oil/gas terminal or harbour.
