Identified need

The iberian peninsula is situated only 14 km from the african continent, becoming exit and entry point for the natural goods between europe and africa. In addition, it is a strategic enclave for drug trafficking to europe, as well as illegal immigration from africa and of smuggling.

Added to this are the 8,000 km of coastline that, at around spain, making it difficult to monitor and facilitate the entry of illegal drugs is done through low-cost boats. Likewise, many people are trying to accede to Europe through our country, specifically, by the Strait of Gibraltar, through precarious boats on many occasions shipwrecked in the midst of the voyage.

In line with the european union's strategy for a union of the Security Council (2020-2025), have advanced dual character in the field of optrónica dedicated to monitoring will make it possible to ensure security in our physical environment and, therefore, it is all the people of Europe. These systems will be able to deal with threats to the citizens as well as the criminal and terrorist activities; the protection of public spaces; critical infrastructures and heritage; smuggling; the control and protection of borders; and the free and safe movement of people and goods

Technological challenge raised

The basic mission of the sensors optrónicos entails providing sharp images, stable, with high resolution and contrast, long-range and in all lighting conditions, day and night, so that, to an object observed in suspicious activity, is to create alarms for some time in advance to allow interception.

The continuation of the decisive progress in this field in recent decades allows obtaining detectors on the band with high sensitivities infrared thermal and spatial resolutions, able to provide images of artefacts at continuously both the light of day and in full darkness in addition to the Optical aim stabilized and secluded allowing exterior shocks with extending a very great distances from the same benefits of comment in any light.
