Prior EU-funded projects have identified Earth observation (EO) services that support intelligence, early warning and crisis management operations to keep citizens as safe as possible. An EU initiative is developing and enhancing these services in order to become fully operational.
Previous security-related projects such as G-MOSAIC developed technologically non-mature geospatial crisis management services and identified related gaps. Further research and development is needed to transform them into operational products and services.
