The challenge
RADAR PCP aims to develop technologies that detect concealed weapons and potentially explosives, and flag suspicious behaviour in crowded settings. The project will explore how AI and sensors can be integrated into existing infrastructure while limiting disruption to the public.
What the project aims to deliver
Building on SHIELD4CROWD, the project plans to refine common buyer requirements and prepare the tender package, then move through solution design, prototype development and operational pilots in France and Spain. The consortium brings together 13 partners from six EU countries, including three interior ministries and two public transport operators acting as public buyers.
Testing and safeguards
The pilots will assess performance in real conditions and inform future uptake. A Security Advisory Board will help manage sensitive knowledge, while advisers will guide the project on privacy and data protection.
