TALOS is an international research project co-funded by the European Commission (EC) under the 7th Framework Programme in Security. The project is aimed at designing, implementing and field-testing a prototype of adaptable and transportable border surveillance system (Transportable Autonomous patrol for Land bOrder Surveillance - TALOS).
Like existing surveillance systems, TALOS is going to use sensors allowing to detect people, vehicles and hazardous substances, crossing the unregulated land border. Innovative concept behind the project is that the sensors will be carried by unmanned vehicles having a high degree of autonomy.
This will give TALOS the advantage of cost effectiveness and surveillance capabilities not available to conventional systems based on static sensors.
-10 countries (Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Israel, Poland, Romania, Spain and Turkey). and 14 institutes are in TALOS project.
-Aselsan Leads the process of designing the top level architecture of the whole TALOS (both phase 1&2) according to user requirements and supervise all subsystem design processes are in line with the top level architecture. Lead and participate in the design and development of the Command & Control Subsystem of TALOS which will enable users to effectively and easily use flock of various kinds of unmanned systems. Cooperate with Turkish Border Guards.
