ZONeSEC expected Impact
yy The solutions proposed by ZONeSEC aim at
benefiting European countries taking into
account transnational applications.
yy The new European-wide online framework
proposed by ZONeSEC will create a robust
and scalable system that provides the same
level of overview and situation awareness
across all parties from different countries
involved.
yy This will enable the actors involved to
produce a unified and coherent response
dealing with potential failures of critical
infrastructures (such as pipelines, energy
lines or transportation routes) that affect
wide geographical areas.
ZONeSEC consortium, formed by 19 partners
from 9 European countries, focuses on the
surveillance of critical infrastructure sites
(widezones).
ZONeSEC´s aim is to address the needs
of widezones surveillance by defining a
new European-wide framework, which will
extend beyond a sole technical proposition.
Driven by the need to yield a holistic and
uniform approach, ZONeSEC redefines the
issue of security of widezones by taking into
consideration issues pertaining to costs,
complexity, vulnerability, societal acceptance
and ethics.
ZONeSEC overview
Third Pilot overview
In the last year of the project, the ZONeSEC
consortium is carrying out three pilot
demonstrations. Building on the experience
gained from the On-Site Integration Pilots
(OIPs), these events will demonstrate the
deployment and performance of the ZONeSEC
system, in real use cases, at the project’s
end-user’s premises.
The third and final Pilot demonstration was
held in in Athens (Greece) during the 25th and
26th of October 2018. This Pilot was hosted
by Atikes Diadromes (https://en.aodos.gr/) in
its Attiki Odos premises and in the Megara site
close to DESFA premises (http://desfa.gr/en/).
This pilot showed the application of the
ZONeSEC system to protect the road network
infrastructures (motorways) against physical
and cyber intrusions and attacks. For that,
the Attiki Odos highway was used as the final
demonstration scenario.
Technically, this Pilot has included all ZONeSEC
Security Capillaries and Security Clusters. It
also included visual analytics techniques for
the life analysis of video footage in real time
and the cyber-agent for the cyber attack
detection. For the first time, the Mimo Radar
was fully integrated in the architecture of
ZONeSEc.
Third Pilot premises
The scenario involved three locations:
yy Site A: Atikes Diadromes central premises
close to Athens airport. This was the central
awareness center for the Operator and
external invitees.
yy Site B: Megara site close to DESFA premises.
Site was used for the UAV deployment and
IDas detection of walking and digging.
yy Site C: Vilissia tunnel in the Attiki Odos
highway. It included all the rest of sensor
systems of ZONeSEC 1.
The distance between the three sites was over
40 km.
The scenario included simulated physical and
cyber-attacks to site B and C. Site A worked
as central hub for the common operational
picture.
Third Pilot scenario
The scenario was focused around a
combination of physical and cyber intrusions
to the Atikes Diadormes premises, both in
the Vissinia Tunel and near Megara. The
event showed how ZONeSEC can improve
surveillance and also provided the opportunity
to demonstrate the following ZONeSEC
functionalities:
yy Detection of denial of service (DDos) cyber
intrusion (in the SCADA system) and brute
force attack
yy Detection of human presence along
perimeter fence areas
yy Detection of physical intrusion and
movement inside the secure perimeter
yy Detection of trespassing inside facilities
yy Remote Mission assignment to UAV and
tracking of suspect
yy Remote Mission assignment to Mini-UAV
System and tracking of suspect
yy Legacy system integration (such as traffic
and meteorological data)
yy Field data (pictures and operators position)
using mobile COP

Sensors and systems involved
The Pilot demonstration brought together the
following elements:
Plug&Play&Forget Wireless Acceleration
sensors provided by IK4-TEKNIKER. These
sensors were installed attached to different
fence at Site C and identified abnormal
movement of the fence as well as motion in
the proximity of the fence (embedded PIR
sensor).
Distributed Acoustic Sensor (IDAS) provided
by Silixa. IDAS is an optoelectronic system
monitoring the acoustic field along an
optical fibre cable. In this Pilot, the IDAS was
successful in detecting movement near a set
perimeter.
Spectral Imaging System provided by ICCS.
This is a novel multi-sensor system with
thermal, hyperspectral and SWIR cameras. The
processing of the huge amount of spectral
video data was locally performed. The system
successfully detected and disseminated
approaching and intrusion alerts inside
technical building in a room fill with smoke.
AQSechnical building.

Mini-UAV support provided by ADITESS. The
main goal of the Mini-UAV system in this Pilot
is to provide real-time video from the area of
interest. Two different scenarios have been
executed, the first one is about the detection
of illicit activity by the video analytics and
prepare order to follow target and the second
is the thermal inspection of DESFA gas terminal
for the detection of leakage. The preparation
of orders, the response and the status of
UAV have been done through the Task-
Based Guidance system. The communication
with DESFA area is established using 4G/
LTE mobile networks and ZONeSEC VPN.
Two Mini-UAV platforms, the multirotor and
helicopter type, were equipped with electro-
optic sensors including daylight and thermal
cameras (CM100V3, UAV Vision) as well as
communication devices.
SDAIM (Surveillance, Detection and Alerts
Information Management) provided by IT
INNOVATION and THALES, analyzed and fused
data coming from the different sensors and
was able to raise alerts to be displayed on the
COP.
MIMORadar (Multiple Input Multiple Output
RAdio Detection And Ranging) provided by
Airbus, detected intrusions of persons into a
secure perimeter marked by a virtual fence.
It was connected to the ZONeSEC system
and raised alerts on the COP. Additionally,
the Radar can provide information about
the distance, velocity and azimuth angle of a
target.

Conclusions of the third Pilot
As a summary for the final Pilot, we can say
that:
yy The scenario could be executed without any
major issues
yy All functionalities and subsystems were
successfully integrated and demonstrated
during the Pilot.
yy The performance of the demonstrated
ZONeSEC system with regards to latency,
processing and response time meet the
users’ expectations and the near real-time
requirements.
Final Pilot demonstration
and project end
After 4 years of intensive work, this final Pilot
demonstration was presented to an extense
audience (external guest participants and the
EC reviewers) and showed how the ZONeSEC
system framework provides means to increase
the security of the Critical Infrastructure
monitoring and detecting any malicious
intrusion.
During the Pilot, the project participants
demonstrated to stakeholders the latest
developments in the surveillance of critical
infrastructures, more specifically in the
COP , (Common Operational Picture) provided
by DIGINEXT and the simulation tools provided
by ATOS and DIGINEXT. The COP displayed a
3D cartographic view of deployed sensors and
raised alerts from subsystems. The simulation
tools provided means to add geo-localized
virtual systems and simulate their inputs to
ZONeSEC.
Uniform Communication Module (UCM)
designed by ICCS, has been successfully
integrated into ZONeSEC Security Capillaries
(including legacy systems) and Clusters
enabling interoperable and real-time
communications from heterogeneous
sensor systems, following a distributed
communication architecture.
Security Clusters provided by IK4-TEKNIKER
in collaboration with ICCS and IT INNOVATION.
Three Clusters were configured and displayed
in COP, one managing the Security Capillaries
at Site B, another on for the Security
Capillaries at Site C, and a third one for the
scalability demo. Security Clusters were
fully operational (also embedding SDAIM
intelligence and fusion) and raising distributed
alerts sent to the Core-COP through the UCM.
CORE: All the different sub-systems were
interconnected by the ZONeSEC Core and
its supporting services. ZONeSEC Core is the
-integration component produced by Atos in
collaboration with EXUS.
deployment of low cost plug&play sensors,
the fusion of multiple sources of data, the
integration of legacy sensors, the simulation
of incidents, near real time distributed
communication supporting the system’s data
exchange, and the Common Operational
Picture (including its mobile version)..
This final pilot had the opportunity to bring
together the latest refined version of all
developments carried out during the project
lifespan and challenge the system robustness.
