MED OSMoSIS
MED OSMoSIS is an Interreg MED project co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund. MED OSMoSIS’s objective
is the development of a number of modules/applications regarding Maritime
Surveillance activities and to facilitate information exchanges that will
support the further development of a regional/local smart plug-in capability
supporting interoperable sectoral systems, ensuring their regional, deployable
and mobile interface, in order to Enhance in-situ Situational Awareness,
wherever needed in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic approaches. The project
will explore the application of current guidelines and capabilities of the
ongoing evolution of the CISE data exchange model. Regarding Maritime
surveillance aspects, 14 new functionalities will be developed. Those include:
creating a GIS portal for feeding and accessing geo-information, applications and
reports; Interconnections with Third party systems; Application of antifouling
equipment management; Search and rescue planning; Activate Geofencing;
Operation/patrol tool; Application and Website for registry, consultation,
listing and reporting of small boats movements and incidents; Integration and
development of additional features; Make webgis tools available to create
additional information layers for defining geometries documenting changes in
the use of marine areas and their artifacts; Provision of digital charts
portfolio supporting the management activities of relevant areas; On-site
recording via form and map from mobile devices; Navigation Warning;
Interoperability tools; CISE for the French hydrographic office.
The three main
results to be achieved during the MED OSMoSIS project are the following:
1) Innovative solutions for Maritime Surveillance : the further
development of the modules and applications and subsequent information
exchanges between the project partners, will support the project partners
cooperation regarding maritime surveillance as well as developing multilateral
coordination frameworks in the Mediterranean for joint responses.
2) 2 Pilot studies
results and capitalisation : The project partners competences and activities
that have been included in the project cover most of the Mediterranean basin
and the proposed modules/ applications cover a number of possible maritime
surveillance aspects (Maritime Spatial Planning, Search and Rescue Cooperative
plans between project partners, sharing experience with partners without
corresponding platforms etc). The hands-on application of the Innovative
solutions through the proposed pilot studies will enhance the cooperation
between the project partners and reveal the possible dynamic and better results
that such cooperation can contribute to maritime surveillance and relevant
information exchanges.
3) List of
platforms for Maritime Surveillance: Establishing a list of platforms existing
in the partnership while testing their availability and interoperability,
testing the data and including information will provide a valuable tool for the
project partners. This result contains the reports regarding diagnosis of
problems, needs analysis and possible ways to improve the currently used platforms
while it will also provide a guide for the development of such platforms for
countries without one and a roadmap for IPA countries to minimize their gap
with other European Partners. The interoperability studies will ensure that the
different institutional levels will be able to share ascending and descending
information with processes coherent and shared between the EU Countries and
Institutions.
