Internal Security Strategy implementation
Policy development: COM with EEAS Operational planning: COSI, COM, EEAS (e.g. CSDP missions)

Today: in average 5-6 yrs from definition of R&D topics to project completion. Projects to feed results of R&D to policy setting Need to minimize this interval and synchronize with interval of policy making and implementation

Decision making: EP and Council

Threat assessment: MS, EEAS (SitCen), agencies

Implementation: MS, COM, agencies

Topic SEC-2010.3.1-1 European-wide integrated maritime border control system phase II

For the 2015 time horizon, innovative solutions should be set up to permanently monitor and track all type of ship traffics, vulnerable lanes and extended border zones, and to detect abnormal behaviour to understand and identify risks and threats at an early stage and to respond as appropriate (in full respect of human rights and in particular of asylum seekers). This future generation of maritime surveillance capabilities should allow: Permanent and all weather coverage of maritime areas; Continuous collection and fusion of heterogeneous data provided by various types of sensors and other intelligent information from external information sources; Supervised automatic detection of abnormal vessel behaviours (tracks and activities) and to generate documented alarms; Understanding of suspicious events and early identification of risks and threats from series of detected spatiotemporal abnormal vessel behaviours (alarms); Detection and tracking of scrapping vessels used for illegal migration; Detecting and preventing illicit movements of persons and goods through multilayered and end-to-end surveillance. By the 2015 time horizon significant technical progress is expected with respect to wide maritime area coverage, combining different sets of sensors and platforms, heterogeneous data processing and fusion, using new methodologies for detecting 11 abnormal behaviours.

Topic SEC-2010.3.1-1 European-wide integrated maritime border control system phase II

The most important challenges were identified as: detection of small craft, fusion of information in order to detect anomalies, interoperability, affordability.

"to be initially tested at a selected portion of the maritime external borders of the European Union" "in a pre-operational scenario, to be defined by representatives of institutional users belonging to different Member States" "Tthe research nature of the proposed DP implies restricting its perimeter to one or a number of demonstration exercises in a clearly identified place and time, specifying the target (or targets), the threats and the associated scenarios".

Protection of European seas and borders through the intelligent use of surveillance
Topic: 3.2-02 (2010) www.perseus-fp7.eu Content: Design of a system of systems architecture integrating surveillance

systems to address complex security missions, focusing on irregular migration and trafficking.
Funding: 27,847,579 Euros

Consortium:INDRA SISTEMAS (ES), CASSIDIAN (FR), DCNS (FR), ENGINEERING (IT), ISDEFE

Expected outcome: * A system of systems representative of what would be available from 2015; * A target vision for an integrated European maritime border surveillance system; * A set of recommendations and best practices to instantiate this target vision in different contexts and to extend it to more countries, testing CONOPS being defined at Frontex, based on the users and providers feedbacks acquired through two real-life exercises operating in the Western and Eastern Mediterranean regions

LESSONS being learnt

Security Authorities realise that demand based R&D approach can bring them benefits.
However:

Big effort (both by EC and participants) needed to mobilise demand side constituency. Much more for a POV project than for a collaborative R&D project.
For authorities to be motivated strong (political) support is needed at national level. Encouraging a consortium of Member States to jointly approach the supply side (and take joint liability for R&D investments) requires much more commitment than encouraging "typical" participants in FP7 to file a grant application to recuperate a percentage of costs of R&D

Economic crisis made it more difficult to leverage additional resources

Security challenge and technology development

EU Council (e.g. recent conclusions on strengthening the internal security authorities' involvement in security-related research and industrial policy (9814/13)) recognizes importance of using modern and adequate technologies in the field of internal security, "which necessitates an increased involvement of internal security authorities in research and a proactive involvement with suppliers of modern security technologies".

PCP - Pre-Commercial Procurement

What
Public sector buys R&D to steer development of solutions to its needs, gather info about pros / cons of alternative solutions.

When
Challenge requires R&D to get new solutions developed. Problem clear, but pros / cons of several potential competing solutions not compared / validated yet.

How
Public sector buys R&D from several suppliers in parallel (comparing alternative solution approaches), in form of competition evaluating progress after critical milestones (design, prototyping, test phase), risks & benefits of R&D (e.g. IPRs) shared with suppliers to maximise incentives for commercialisation.

PCP and PPI Complementary tools in

Horizon 2020

PCP to steer development of solutions towards concrete public sector needs, whilst comparing/validating alternative solution approaches from various vendors
PPI to act as launching customer / early adopter / first buyer of innovative commercial end-solutions newly arriving on the market
