Sophia Antipolis, France, 3 May 2019
The objective of the maritime Common Information Sharing environment (CISE) is to improve maritime situational awareness by enhancing the maritime public authorities’ abilities to monitor, detect, identify, track and understand occurrences at sea in order to be able to provide reasoned grounds for reaction. Maritime CISE will ensure that information collected by one maritime authority and considered necessary for the operational activities of other authorities is shared instead of being collected and produced several times.
To promote a common understanding of information relevant to maritime surveillance, CISE must foster the use of common standards to interpret and process exchanged information by performing aggregation, correlation and data fusion. This is important to build an integrated maritime awareness picture. The ETSI ISG CDM will provide a universal data and service model that may serve as reference for all cross-sectoral and cross-border information exchange between European public authorities.
The Kick-off Meeting of the group is planned to take place in the ETSI premises in Sophia Antipolis, France, on 29 May 2019 where officials of the group will be elected and focus on specific work developed.
