Security Research: EU prepares for the unexpected

A prime aim of this is to enable a quick and organised responses in crisis management situations - with technology used to help save lives and restore security.

The Preparatory Action already under way includes a number of projects, such as one improving the security surveillance technology for crowded areas like a sport stadium or metro stations that could be targets for terrorist attacks, by using a range of sensors to detect dangerous behaviour. Other projects will emerge in response to the new call for proposals being launched today.
