The project is intended as a continuation of the successful MarCom project, with significantly extended objectives in identifying needs and appropriate technologies for environmental monitoring, as well as supporting advanced maritime operations for increased efficiency and safety in the transport segment by utilizing novel and emerging technologies. The primary investigations are being planned to address: 1. Applications & user requirements, mainly related to on-line IO and the eMaritime and eNavigation concepts, applied to Shipping , Oil & Gas (O&G), as well as Fisheries & Aquaculture (F&A). - Collaboration platform -Remote monitoring and support - Distribution mechanisms; 2. Electronic infrastructure, architecture and technologies for coastal & ocean areas, including: - Definition of a technical architecture for maritime communications -Extended coverage terrestrial broadband at sea (WiMAX- and/or LTE-based) - Mesh networking; shore-ship-ship etc. - Wireless Coastal Area Network (WiCAN) infrastructure utilizing maritime installations (lighthouses etc.) for base stations and mesh nodes; 3. Maritime radio systems engineering, embracing: -Maritime radio channel characterization -Space and antenna diversity for mobile vessels communications -Novel shipborne antenna designs and applications -Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and interference (EMI) issues; 4. Data acquisition and sensor technologies, including: -Identification of sensors and systems for reliable environmental monitoring, advanced logistics and transport, and demanding maritime operations -Standardization of data formats and handling procedures -Evaluation of requirements regarding autonomous operations vs. online communications
