5. BES2: Our understanding
BES2: Low cost and “green” technologies for EU coastal border surveillance
Improve maritime border security with
Low cost
and low impact on environment and population
“No” constraint of deployment
Capability of interacting with other systems
Passive systems :
Fulfill these cost and environment constraints :
No transmitter (low cost)
No effect on the population due to radio (tele) broadcasters (FM, TV (DVB))
Passive Receiving systems are discrete : small antenna array
No rotating part
No electromagnetic radiation

6. Maritime Border Security topic 2 : Low cost and “green” technologies for EU coastal border surveillance
BES2: Low cost and “green” technologies for EU coastal border surveillance
Current Passive system performances (terrestrial)
Low sensitivity to clutter (for terrestrial systems)
Detection/ltracking (multistatic system) performances on small target flying at low altitude (especially for DVB-T) up to terrestrial targets
Capability of a component to be fused with the other bistatic pairs (for tracking)
Capabilities/performances to be validated during the project
Evaluate the passive system performances for maritime targets and low flying aircraft above the sea
Selection of transmitter with sufficient “maritime “ radiation
Potentially, analysis of the impact of a “slow” moving clutter (terrestrial receivers)
Adaptation of the clutter rejection algorithm to mobile platform (maritime receivers)
Enhancement of the passive tracking capabilities for dense target environment
Demonstration (according to the individual components and to the passive system)
Analyse the benefits of a fusion with other system
Feasibility of such a fusion (passive systems are bi or multi-static)
Fusion architecture (plots or tracks, plot attributes)
Expected benefits of such a fusion
