ARGUS
Title
Automated Recognition of Ghost ships and Underwater Survaillance - ARGUS
General information
The protection of critical underwater infrastructure (KRITIS) has so far been neglected due to the high costs involved. There is no overview of KRITIS-related ship movements and no means of recognising ships that switch off their positioning system. There is also no strategy for the rapid and systematic monitoring of KRITIS under water. At the moment, measurement data are processed manually on an individual and time-consuming basis.
Argus is a project funded by the BMDV with a total funding amount of around 2.7 million euros. During the project period from 1 June 2024 to 31 May 2026, Argus aims to enable automated and data-based monitoring and risk assessment of KRITIS at sea.
