9.15.7 Current situation within the EU
SELECT NANO was a framework 6 project that aimed at the development of multifunctional nanoparticles using a process of Sonoelectrochemistry. The network of excellence aimed to synthesise, scale up and apply the nanoparticles for detecting and authenticating articles using printing conductive labels and coding information based on the printed pattern. The PEARL (privacy enhanced security architecture for RFID tags) project is aimed at developing tools and methodologies for RFID systems, while preserving user privacy. The ongoing project aims at modelling relevant privacy and security policy as well as developing protocol for RFID environments. The project also looks at integration of RFID tags and developing back office support system applications.
The following Preparatory Action for Security Research Funded projects were funded by the European Commission and are relevant to positioning and localisation:
- Advanced space technologies to support security operations (ASTRO +) was a 15 month project aimed at transverse technology analysis, definition with end user and demonstration of mission concepts. The project demonstrated imagery intelligence facility, communication and tracking of vehicles and security personnel [375].
- People real-time observation in buildings: Assessment of New Technologies (PROBANT) in support of surveillance and intervention operations, project aims to develop, integrate and validate technologies for crisis intervention and surveillance situations. The technologies validated by PROBANT would be used by civilian agencies in threat detection during hostage situations, kidnapping and hijacking to obtain images in real time [376].
