  1. The SWING Project: status and closure of the project Bruno Zolesi.bruno.zolesi@ingv.it Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia

  2. The Project • Starting date: January 1st , 2012 • End date: December 31st , 2013 • Duration: 24 Months • Partnership: • ConsiglioNazionaleuniversitarioper le Telecomunicazioni • IstitutoNazionalediGeofisica e Vulcanologia • Observatori de l’Ebre • National Observatory of Athens SWING Final Meeting | CNIT - Pisa, Italy

  3. The Aim of the Project In case of wide scale terroristic or attacks able to render useless Internet links the aim of the Project named SWING was: to establish the basis for a South European robust radio network, based on SW architecture; to utilize innovative ionospheric sounding techniques and real time signal processing and forecasting, to support Critical Infrastructure communications, both short and long range. SWING Final Meeting | CNIT - Pisa, Italy

  4. The Aim of the Project In fact the potential risk of wide scale terrorist attacks able to put out of order, for a long period, the internet connections capabilities exposes the some European Critical Infrastructures (ECIs), like electric power distribution and production infrastructure, CPAs, safety and defense organization, water distribution agency, airports, etc. in a stage of vulnerability because of some essential information are transferred by means of internet both for management and control. SWING Final Meeting | CNIT - Pisa, Italy

  5. The Aim of the Project The aim of SWING was to study a high survival HF radio network (data/voice) to real time support of ECIs communications, maintaining the minimum flux of essential information for the management and control in case of wide scale terrorist attacks able to render internet links useless over the Mediterranean region. This will increase the awareness of ECIs operator in the extreme case of the complete broadband failure of the communication. SWING Final Meeting | CNIT - Pisa, Italy

  6. Objectives To study internet communications criticality. To analyze the requirements necessary to ECIs and CGAs management and control. To develop a communication protocols in order to define standard software and hardware tools supporting reliable and interoperable Short Wave radio communication techniques for ECIs and CGAs protection. To study the frequency management system taking into account the special characteristics of the ionospheric channel. To design a radio-communication architecture for a distributed South European short wave radio network. SWING Final Meeting | CNIT - Pisa, Italy

  7. The Aim of the Project Target groups Agencies and institution devoted to management of Critical Infrastructures that are linked by internet network. Expected results The project is finalized to demonstrate the feasibility of a network high survival HF communication as buck-up and independent system to ensure minimum management and communication requirements, in the case of internet failure due to a terrorist attack. SWING Final Meeting | CNIT - Pisa, Italy

  8. Activities and Deliverables Interface with EU authorities and coordination. Technical analysis of the communication problems related to the identification and designation of CIs in the interested area. Determination of the topology of high survival radio communication network. Characterization of the minimal amount of information necessary for the survival of the CIs communication. Operative supervision of the network architecture. 6-Analysis of the existing architecture of HF communication based on internet protocol access with reference to the above considered infrastructures. Analysis of existing HF connection system in terms of software and hardware for internet connection. Definition of the High survival HF radio network technical requirements. Radio network system design. Criteria of early warning alert and procedures to activate the back up network. Monthly prediction of the hourly HF set of frequencies over the n radio links given by the network, based on the available ionospheric model and methods. Daily forecasting of the hourly HF set of frequencies based on the Mediterranean ionospheric measurements. Ground wave propagation analysis when required. Frequency management system for HF communication link optimization. Identification of the professional profile able to maintain and operate network. Dissemination of deliverables within communities informing about initiatives organised in the context of the project. Professional training activities trough courses, workshops and conferences. Assessment of the potential impact and feasibility of the project for ECIs and CGAs and final recommendations for the EC. Realization of a demonstrator constituted by 4- terminals HF network.
