Defence and Security Robotics

INFORMATION

Interest in security is increasing. Although Europe and Spain have never been so wealthy, it is also true that we are facing renewed threats such as terrorism, organised crime and, increasingly, natural disasters.

Making Europe a safe and strong region for its citizens and infrastructure has become a priority in the EU’s R&D&I framework.

The dynamic nature of the defence and security environment implies many new challenges such as: strengthening fundamental human rights, including privacy; or planning for preparedness and response to potential threats and real crisis situations.

Interactions between different actors in the defence and security scenario are essential to enhance this activity. We are talking specifically about interactions between companies in the defence and security industry, technology companies, universities and R&D&I centres, and potentially their users, which would benefit citizens, critical infrastructures, SMEs and industry.
