ZONeSEC is a 4-year EU project that began in 2014 to develop a framework for securing wide zones across Europe. It involves 19 partners from 9 countries working on sensor integration, data fusion, and common visualization tools. The project has conducted pilots in highway, water pipeline, and gas pipeline surveillance. It is now past the midpoint and preparing for final demonstrations in 2018 to showcase an integrated solution incorporating both novel and legacy sensors.

5. ZONeSEC Objectives
The Global Objective of ZONeSEC is to support the
security of citizens by providing a total solution for the
protection of Wide zone infrastructure.
ZONeSEC aims to address the needs of Wide zones surveillance by defining a new
European-wide framework. Driven by the need to yield a holistic and uniform approach,
ZONeSEC redefines the issue of security of Wide zones by taking into consideration
issues pertaining to costs, complexity, vulnerability, societal acceptance and ethics.
ZONeSEC guarantees technological excellence by leveraging:
1. Best of breed activity pattern recognition and state models, based on data from
advanced low cost sensors,
2. State of the art simulation techniques, robust, resilient, and flexible and cutting edge
IT and Communication infrastructure,
3. Expert systems and reasoning for decision support and seamless large volume of
data and information sharing to multiple channels.

ZONeSEC Expected Impact
ZONeSEC aims to deliver a strong Impact on:
• Societal acceptance
• Ethics
• Legal issues
• Standardization
• National and international operating
procedures
• Foster transnational collaboration for shared
infrastructure and harmonize the operational
domain and involved processes

ZONeSEC key challenges
Near real time Hard real time is not required. Time has to be reasonable.
Reliability of data transport Alert data should be reliable. It is mandatory that alerts don’t get lost in
transit.
Heterogeneous networks All kind of networks will be available.
Modularity All the information system should be as decoupled as possible.
Plug and play All the security capillaries can enter or leave the system at any moment
without affecting the complete architecture stability.
Scalability The resulting system or framework should be scalable to any number of
security capillaries and any arbitrary extended area.
Security Security has to be taken into account in all possible layers (excluding the
tampering of the physical devices).
Portability The resulting framework should be portable to any localization.
Legacy sensors Already existing sensors (aka “legacy sensors”) should be included in the
framework as seamlessly as possible.
Open platform The architecture will be open allowing the possible addition of new
Security capillaries and old legacy systems.

ZONeSEC key elements (1/2)
Novel Sensors:
• Acceleration sensors. These sensors are attached
to the fence and identified abnormal movements.
• Distributed Acoustic Sensor (IDAS). IDAS is an
optoelectronic system monitoring the acoustic field
along an optical fibre cable.
• Spectral Imaging System: This is a novel multi-
sensor system with thermal, hyperspectral and
SWIR cameras.
• Mini-UAV: Two Mini-UAV systems, a multirotor and
a helicopter type, equipped with electro-optic
sensors including daylight and thermal cameras
(CM100, UAV Vision).
• Mimo Radar: Mimo Radar is a radar system capable
of the detection and tracking of people.
• ULTIMA: Ultima is a heat sensor that can be user
also for detection of leakages.

10. 11ZONeSEC overview9/5/2017
ZONeSEC key elements (2/2)
• Legacy sensors : In the different pilots there are many legacy sensors that has to
be integrated: CCTV, Magnetic contact, IR, etc.
• SDAIM (Surveillance, Detection and Alerts Information Management) analyzes
and fuses data coming from the different sensors and was able to raise alerts to
be displayed on the COP.
• COP (Common Operational Picture): The COP displayed a 3D cartographic view
of deployed sensors and raised alerts from subsystems.
• Simulation: The simulation tools provided means to add geo-localized virtual
systems and simulate their inputs to ZONeSEC.
• Uniform Communication Module: enables interoperable and real-time
communications from heterogeneous sensor systems, following a distributed
communication architecture.
• Core: All the different sub-systems were interconnected by the ZONeSEC Core,
the integration component.
• Cyber agents: protect the systems from internet based attacks.
