ARGOS system integration tests in NCSRD facilities, Athens (Gr)

Following the successful remote tests of integration of the ARGOS system, the partners involved in the second field trial of the ARGOS project met in the facilities of NCSR Democritos, to work locally for system integration and test purposes. The performance of all types of sensors that will be deployed during the final trial of the system was tested. Furthermore network and communication tests of alternative solutions between ARGOS Gateway and the internet were performed and integration of data to the rule based engine the data fusion component, and the DSS interface were tested.

ARGOS Clustering with EDEN Project

The “End-User Driven demo for CBRNe (EDEN)” FP7 Project workshop was organized in February 25-26th, 2015 in the Main School of Fire Service (SGSP) in Warsaw, Poland. This was a Virtual Facility (VF) event in a series of four workshops led by the SGSP in context of EDEN. Each VF is a virtual simulation of respective emergency radiation incident scenarios inside and outside of a nuclear plant which affect public safety at different levels of crisis management in an imaginary country.

The future of surveillance involves anticipate threats

This is one of the conclusions that it was reach during the ARGOS project workshop that took place last 10th March in Madrid. This conference was hold in everis premises and aimed to present the progress made after passing the midway of the project.

It was attended by representatives of different Critical Infrastructure Operators, the Ministry of Defence, law enforcers and technological organizations. It was also attended by the CNPIC (National Centre for Critical Infrastructures Protection in Spain) who gave a brief talk on the implementation of the EPCIP (European programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection) in Spain and the progress made. During the CNPIC intervention it was stated by some of the participants that cooperation between European countries in order to improve the protection of European Critical Infrastructures (ECI) and the creation of a common ground for communication between stakeholders from different countries is the next step that has to be taken. 

ARGOS at III Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection

Everis Aerospace and Defense will present the European project ARGOS next 26^th February 2015, at the III Conference on Critical Infrastructure Protection organized by the Spanish National Center for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CNPIC) along with the Borredá foundation.

The security of critical infrastructure is rapidly developing in Spain. Since the adoption of the Law for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure in 2011 until the adoption of the first sector plans last year, these services have undergone major changes in its security. During the day they will be announced the latest developments, which will occur throughout 2015 and future. The event will be attended by representatives of agencies such as the Spanish Home Office, the CNPIC or the Spanish Institute for Cyber Security (Incibe) plus security officials of various operators. They will address topics such as the current state of the system Critical Infrastructure Protection, sector strategic plans of Transport and Water (which will be released in the coming months) or cyber incident management in these environments.

ARGOS Project Presentation in CRITIS 2014 International Conference

CRITIS 2014 continues a well-established tradition of successful annual conferences. It aims at bringing together researchers and professionals from academia, industry and governmental organizations working in the field of the security of critical infrastructure systems.

Modern society relies on the availability and smooth operation of a variety of complex engineering systems. These systems are termed Critical Infrastructure Systems (CIS). Some of the most prominent examples of critical infrastructure systems are electric power systems, telecommunication networks, water distribution systems, transportation systems, wastewater and sanitation systems, financial and banking systems, food production and distribution, and oil/natural gas pipelines.

The ARGOS Consortium

The ARGOS Consortium covers the entire value chain and includes all the expertise required for the successful execution of the project. Partners are all well-established and experienced organisations with a wide range of capabilities, making the Consortium stronger and more self-sufficient.
