LEAD-PRo Law Enforcement Assistance for Disaster Prediction and Recovery Optimisation

LEAD-PRO focuses on mature technological solutions, achieving a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 8, fostering collaboration among SMEs from different Member States, fostering collaboration among SMEs from different Member States, involving LEA/First Responder end-users in the validation process, and promoting collaboration between small technology companies and research organisations.

With a consortium comprising three SMEs from Spain, Lithuania, Ireland, as well as three partner LEAs serving as end users from Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, complemented by dynamic NGO, the project spans 24 months.The project's primary aim is to equip LEAs and first responders with advanced AI-based tools and technologies that enhance their capabilities across all operational phases and contribute to digital societal resilience.

The LEAD-PRO solution encompasses three advances:*Real-Time Information Collection and Analysis for Disaster Prediction: The project develops an innovative platform for gathering, processing, and sharing real-time data and information. This includes CCTV, cameras, drones, and anomaly detection systems.

The platform integrates state-of-the-art technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and big data to create a robust warning system and enhance geolocation capabilities for both the public and rescue teams.*Optimisation of Disaster Prevention: LEAD-PRO exploits monitoring data, satellite/remote sensing information, and artificial intelligence to conduct high-level assessments.

This involves optimising the processing of data from satellite and aerial imagery, sensor networks, and weather information. *Robust Response for Better Recovery: The project focuses on innovative solutions for post-crisis and disaster recovery, including robotics for tasks in hazardous areas.

Utilizing UAV/UAS for assessing areas of interest, the project addresses energy and data network rehabilitation, autonomous systems, and decentralised operation.
