WP20500Early Warning Bhupendra Jasani Department of War Studies - King’s College London – UK Valerio Tramutoli Department of Physics and Engineering of the Environment University of Basilicata – Potenza - IT
WP20500 Early Warning Objectives: to test the ability of different techniques for providing early indications of security events that might pose a risk to civilian populations.

Research achivements suitable for integrationRobust (Change Detection) Satellite Techniques RST approach demonstrated to be robustagainst false alarms effective even in adverse observational conditions sensitivetoward very low (absolute) signal variations automaticnot requiring supervision adjustable for event detail description exportable directly on different geographic areas and different satellite platforms
INTEGRATION • The results so far are encouraging • There is a number of WP with which integration can be intensified: • Treaty monitoring • Change detection • Facility signatures • Infrastructure monitoring • Border monitoring • Security concept • Population Monitoring
