Title:

ACRITAS: Space Technologies for Surveillance and Monitoring Integrated Applications

Program:

National GSRT – “Innovative Enterprise Clusters”

Duration:

24 months

Summary:

The ACRITAS project aims at the research, design, development and validation of space-based integrated applications for surveillance and monitoring through advanced multi-sensor data fusion technologies. Special emphasis is put on the integrated use of space-related technologies (i.e., Earth Observation (GMES), Satellite Communications (SatCom), and Satellite Navigation (GNSS)), and their fusion with available terrestrial in-situ assets for key application domains, such as: Border Surveillance, Critical Energy Infrastructure Monitoring, Coastal Environmental Monitoring, and Agricultural Monitoring.

Space Hellas is the Project Coordinator. It builds an integrated multi-application modular service platform, which interfaces with in-situ data sources, EO service providers and data processing/fusion modules, supporting different workflows in order to deliver the final product, according to each of the aforementioned application domains.
