  1. Creating Interoperability Through Technological Development What Needs To Be Implemented In Order To Improve Pan-European Security Mechanisms Jan Sjoerd de Vries European Commission DG ENTR-H4

  2. Security challenges today: • Europe is facing new threats, more diverse, less predictable – New York September 11, Madrid March 11, London summer ’05, ……… • EU Enlargement leads to increased population, increased territory and direct borders with less stable regions • Need to invest in a European “security culture” supported by a credible EU industry • Need to address fragmentation and capitalise on existing RTD activities, capabilities and competences • Need to develop synergies between civil and military research, between public and private sector • Need to stimulate coherence, coordination and investment

  3. Why EU Security Research ? • To support CFSP and to achieve a high level of security within a EU wide area of Justice, Freedom and Security. • To contribute to developing technologies and capabilities in support of other EU policies such as transport, civil protection, energy and environment. • To contribute, through technology and innovation, to reinforcing the competitiveness of European security industry • To exploit synergies & dualities between civil / security / defence sectors as well as between public / private research sectors • To coordinate efforts and reduce fragmentation & duplication • To stimulate investment in technology (Barcelona objective of 3% of GDP for research) and hence contribute to the Lisbon objective

  4. PREPARATORY ACTION on Security Research (PASR) • An immediate response from the Commission tothe requests coming from the Council, from the European Parliament and from industry. • With the ultimate goal of preparing the a fully-fledged programme to advance security of European Citizens through research and technology from 2007

  5. A set of coherent initiatives European Security Research within FP 7 (2007 - 2013) ESRAB Preparatory Action for Security Research – PASR (2004-2006) time 2004 2005 2006 2007 “European Security Research: The Next Steps” (Sept 2004) GoP report “Research for a secure Europe” (March 2004) “Towards an EU Defence Equipment Policy” (March 2003) ESRAB = European Security Advisory Board

  6. PASR 2004-2006 • Three calls: 15 M€ budget each and ~15x over-subscribed • Participants from EU25 + EEA (2005 & 2006) • No classified information such as EU confidential, EU secret, EU top secret • Evaluation with assistance of independent external evaluators, mainly from Member States

  7. Project priority missions • Protection of networked systems • Protection against terrorism (including bio-terrorism and incidents with biological, chemical and other substances) • Enhancing crisis management • Interoperability and integrated systems • Improving situation awareness In addition: Supporting activities for roadmaps, networks, research infrastructures, SMEs, studies, etc.

  8. Participation of stakeholder groups in PASR-2004 & -2005 submitted ranked list

  9. A set of coherent initiatives European Security Research within FP 7 (2007 - 2013) ESRAB Preparatory Action for Security research – PASR (2004-2006) time 2004 2005 2006 2007 “European Security Research: The Next Steps” (Sept 2004) GoP report “Research for a secure Europe” (March 2004) “Towards an EU Defence Equipment Policy” (March 2003)

  10. General Principles for Security Research • Dual Objective: • Contributing to the security of citizens • Industrial competitiveness • Individual rights, public liberties and democratic values to be taken into account • Activities to be mission-oriented in order to develop technologies necessary to meet capability requirements • Activities to complement & integrate technology and system-oriented research carried out in other themes • Programme to be flexible to accommodate unknown future security threats and possible new policy requirements. • Cross-fertilisation with other research sectors and development of multi-purpose technologies to be stimulated • Cooperation between providers (industry) and users (public authorities) of security solutions to be encouraged

  11. 4 Main missions • Protection against terrorism and crime • Technology solutions for threat awareness (e.g. CBRN) • Detection, prevention, identification, protection, neutralisation and containment of effects of terrorism & crime • Security of infrastructures and utilities • Analysing & securing existing & future infrastructures, systems and services • Border security • Technologies & capabilities to enhance security of land & coastal boarders, including border control & surveillance issues • Restoring security in case of crisis • Technologies to support emergency management operations, inter-organisational coordination & communication, distributed architectures & human factors

  12. 3 Cross-cutting areas • Security Systems Integration & Interoperability • Technologies to enhance interoperability of systems, equipment, services & processes • Organisation, protection of confidentiality & integrity of information, traceability of transactions, processing • Security and Society • Socio economic aspects related to crime, perception of security, ethics, privacy, societal foresight • Safeguarding privacy & liberties, vulnerabilities, new threats, management & impact assessment of consequences • Security Research Coordination & Structuring • Coordination of security research efforts, development of synergies (civil/security/defence), legal conditions, use of infrastructures

  13. Research Paths 2013 2006 • Start with capabilities and projects • Phase in larger projects consistent with EC funding curve proposal Missions Route 2 Route 3 Route 1 • Systems of Systems validation • Multi-mission • Combination of project results, i.e. • Integrated border management system, Aftermath Crisis management system, etc Demonstration projects • System development- Mission specific • Combination of capabilities, i.e. • intelligent urban environment observation, Abnormal behaviour detection, Sea border surveillance, Network enabled Command & Control, etc Integration Projects High Capability projects Maturity Level • Capability development, i.e. • risk assessment, modelling, training & excercises, detection, identification & authentication, information management, etc. Low A B C D E F G H

  14. Relations with the EDA • Common objective of the cooperation: increase the efficiency of EU action by encouraging synergies/avoiding duplication • Full association of the EDA in all Commission initiatives and reciprocally • ESRAB will advise the Commission on the substance and the implementation of security part of FP7 at the level of the specific program and the work program • EDA participant in ESRAB will be the central coordination focal point to ensure coordination

  15. Complementarity • Principle of Complementarity • to other parts of FP7 • to other activities in the EU • Security-mission oriented research • Technological development in so far the application of these technologies are ‘security specific’ • Bridging the gap between civil & defence & security research

  16. Main messages • Security is pre-condition for Europe’s growth and competitiveness • Technology alone will not solve all security problems but security without the use of technology is impossible • Security research will centre on meeting commonly defined end-user requirements • Research with civil application focus but full transparency with EDA • Need for balance between protection of civil liberties/freedoms and security needs • Research is not an end it itself – standards, regulation etc..

  17. Security Research Roadmap • Continue Preparatory Action PASR (2006) • Prepare security research agenda for FP7, specific programme and overall governance with the help of • ESRAB • other security “user” DGs within the Commission • EDA, and • in consultation with MS • Define cooperation with EDA • Establish specific implementation rules (e.g. contract aspects, funding level, handling of classified information, participation) • FP7 approval: end of 2006 • Launch of first call: 2007
