Abstract:
Small Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) are a growing threat to the maritime coast security as they can potentially carry explosives or can be used for smuggling drugs, boats and human intruders onto the sea shore. The mini-RPAS can depart from maritime platforms such as yachts. Their low cost and very small signature makes them a favorite platform for smugglers and terrorists. The mini-RPAS Radar Cross Section (RCS) is too small to be detected by the regular costal radars, which is where SafeShore comes in. Another important maritime threat addressed is low altitude guided parachutes. Due to their low RCS, these parachutes are hard to detect by standard radars. They can be dropped from airplanes far away from the shore and can be used for deploying equipment or explosives.
The SafeShore core solution for detecting small targets that are flying at low altitude is to use a 3D LIDAR that scans the sky and creates above the protected area a virtual dome shield. 3D LIDAR will be integrated with passive acoustic sensors, passive radio detection and video analytics. With 3D LIDAR technology, SafeShore will be able to cover a vast area of the coastal border using mobile platforms. Each mobile platform will cover its area with a dome-shaped virtual detection shield with a radius of about 250-300m. There will be approximately 50 meters overlapping between the platforms. The overlapping will create a continuous detection shield along the shoreline.

Abstract:
The project aims to obtain an innovative integrated system for forensic science services and to innovate the services for judicial ballistics, by the adaptation of advanced testing technologies of firearms, developed by MTA, to the specific requirements of forensic science, in order to create new competences and types of investigations applicable to the domain. The project implies two directions for the know-how dissemination, one referring to the development of an innovative test stand for ballistic testing and another to develop a complex system for fingerprint sampling. Together with a third test stand for documents investigation (handwriting, signatures and stamping) they will form the innovative integrated system for forensic expertise. The services offer will be complemented by handwriting analysis technologies and stamp imprint analysis technologies, for which the know-how already exist at the CO company. By combining the technology owned by MTA with the methods and optical equipment owned by Optoelectronica-2001 SA, the evidence material will benefit from a high degree of trust, by determination with high accuracy of shooting angles and bullet trajectory.
The application by adaptation to particularities of judicial ballistics of the math predictive models and specific techniques of performance design and testing domain and safety characteristics of firearms and munitions will lead to new competences in the judicial forensic investigation and, implicitly, to new forensic services. The transferred competences, e.g. the ”Failure Analysis” techniques, will create the premises for development of new technologies for judicial ballistics.
The project will aim to develop a system and a procedure regarding the sampling of fingerprints during forensic investigation, considered one of the most important physical evidence that can be found on a crime scene. A special cabinet will be developed for the revealing the invisible and difficult to sample fingerprints.

Abstract:
Urban authorities are focusing their efforts on reinforcing methods to secure and enhance public safety by preventing crimes, protecting properties and assets. Public video surveillance is becoming ubiquitously deployed as a valuable tool but denotes specific drawbacks as the absence of effective data processing, and the lack of advanced machine intelligence features such as a DROP-oriented (Distinctive Regions Of interest or Patterns) retrieval architecture. DROP may include color regions, tattoos, logos or any other distinctive features that appear in a given "incident" images and currently starts to replace traditional analysis techniques such as face detection or color/motion information. The concept derives from real police video-based forensics investigations. Many times clear face identification of the suspect is not possible, therefore DROP could be used to track and identify relevant target instances in the entire surveillance system. To cope with the aforementioned limitations, the proposed technology out-coming from the SPOTTER research project will be capable of automatically finding the occurrence of a DROP instance by running specialized algorithms embedded directly on the IP video cameras, and provide the results as efficient as possible to the human operator. The main innovative objectives of the SPOTTER project are synthesized with the following: (1) Development of advanced DROP retrieving algorithms dedicated and optimized for running on low resources embedded on hardware IP-based video cameras; (2) Development of techniques for real-time identification and tracking capabilities on multiple video sources; (3) Development of techniques for dynamically adjusting the algorithms' running parameters and adapt them to different tasks. The genuine novelties of this approach are in the implementation of state-of-the-art high-level video processing techniques in real-time on dedicated surveillance hardware, i.e., traditional IP cameras.

Abstract:
The goal of the KEPRO project is the development of an experimental model of an innovative ultra-high performance instrument (henceforth referred to as the HBPSKP instrument) for the measurement of the surface potential of samples. The instrument will be primarily used in the test mass and test mass capacitance gauge position control and suspension systems development of NASA’s SR-POEM (Sounding Rocket Principle of Equivalence Measurement) and ESA’s LISA/NGO (Laser Interferometry Space Antenna/New Gravitational waves Observatory) space missions. Under these circumstances, the KEPRO project can be classified under Research Domain 8 (Space and Security), Research Field 8.3 (Aerospace technologies and infrastructures), Research Topic 8.3.8 (Systems for analysis, testing and control for space, aerospace and aeronautics applications) in the list of priority research directions provided in the Annex 1 of the Information Package.
In addition, the HBPSKP instrument has direct and important applications in the development of antistatic protection technology for satellites and aircrafts against in-flight electric charging, in the automotive industry, in materials and surface science and technology, in the semiconductor manufacturing industry and in medical science in the study and development of new and more efficient regenerative treatments for skin tissue and tendon damage. As such, it has a high market potential and the KEPRO project consortium intends to capitalize on it.
The KEPRO consortium consists of three partners, namely the Institute of Space Science (ISS) as the coordinating institution, the National Institute for Research and Development in Mechatronics and Measurement Techniques (INCDMTM) as the first partner and respectively S.C. Optoelectronica 2001 S.A. as the industrial and co-financing second partner. The partner structure of the consortium, as well as the corresponding project teams have been carefully chosen such that through partner complementarity, synergy and medium and long-term development strategies to provide an efficient and successful implementation of the project, as well as broad opportunities for the exploitation project’s results market potential. For the latter purpose, the consortium has included in the project specific activities for protecting the intellectual property rights deriving from its successful completion, as well as a strategy for their future use.
Under these circumstances, the KEPRO project will result in a highly innovative instrument – the first of its kind designed and built exclusively in Romania – for the development of space applications in the ESA and NASA programs, with performances that make it unique in the entire world.
