Description

Original language: Dutch

Marktconsultatie - SeaSEC beeldopbouw Challenge Opdrachtgever: Ministerie van Defensie De Nederlandse samenleving wordt steeds afhankelijker van kritieke onderwaterinfrastructuur door de energietransitie en de toenemende digitalisering. Recente sabotagepogingen, met name in de Oostzee, tonen aan dat deze infrastructuur kwetsbaar is. Om de weerbaarheid van Nederland te verhogen in een wereld met toenemende geopolitieke spanningen, is het essentieel om de veiligheid van de kritieke infrastructuur te waarborgen. Programma Bescherming Noordzee Infrastructuur (PBNI), onderdeel van het ministerie van I&W, heeft SeaSEC, onderdeel van het ministerie van Defensie, opdracht gegeven tot de ontwikkeling van een meer betrouwbaar en actueel (onderwater/bovenwater) beeldopbouwsysteem. Het doel van dit project is de realisatie van een Proof of Concept (PoC) voor het SeaSEC testgebied in Scheveningen. Het systeem kan vervolgens worden doorontwikkeld/ opgeschaald voor toepassing op de Noordzee. Type publicatie: Vooraankondiging Type opdracht: Diensten Kenmerk: 623635 Europees: Nee
