Technological innovation is a critical asset in the security and law enforcement domain.
The Earth Observation-based services market is constantly changing and evolving, taking advantage of the increasing data sources as a result of new EO missions, provided by public programmes such as Copernicus, national EO missions and by a variety of commercial or public/private partnerships EO missions and small satellites, by EU and non-EU operators. Additionally, new actors, such as data owners and analytics providers are more and more cooperating to research activities to demonstrate enhanced analysis and intelligence by fusing diverse data and information from a wide range of geolocated and open data sources.
Thanks to the combination of emerging ICT technologies and evolving EO and non-EO data collection and processing capabilities, Earth Observation is becoming an increasingly important asset for stakeholders involved in security operations. The European Space Agency investigates and tests new capabilities in order to support and foster developments in EO security research activities, keeping a constant dialogue with institutional actors involved in the law enforcement domain and in the provision of EO operational services, as well as with EO commercial providers and research entities.
The New Space Actors contribution to EO for Security side event at Φ-week, taking place on Friday 15 October, will feature presentations from:
- institutions assisting intergovernmental, governmental and non-governmental organizations in the fields of security and law enforcement, by providing services, training and capacity building;
- industries on the latest innovation, with a high focus on developing analytics and AI tailored for EO data.
