Operational Network of Individual Observation Nodes (ONION)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

Two trends have recently emerged in space systems and could even further strengthen in the future: small satellites, with the development of key modularisation and miniaturisation technologies, and the deployment of constellations and distributed networks of satellites. It is of primordial importance for Europe to properly analyse those trends and determine whether or not they could provide a comp ...

Integrated Components for Assisted Rescue and Unmanned Search operations (ICARUS)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2016,

"Recent dramatic events such as the earthquakes in Haiti and L’Aquila or the flooding in Pakistan have shown that local civil authorities and emergency services have difficulties with adequately managing crises. The result is that these crises lead to major disruption of the whole local society. The goal of ICARUS is to decrease the total cost (both in human lives and in €) of a major crisis. In o ...

Toolbox Implementation for Removal of Anti-personnel Mines, Submunitions and UXO (TIRAMISU)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Clearing large civilian areas from anti-personnel landmines and cluster munitions is a difficult problem because of the large diversity of hazardous areas and explosive contamination. A single solution does not exist and many mine action actors have asked for a toolbox from which they could choose the tools best fit to a given situation. Some have built their own toolboxes, usually specific to som ...
