On 17 October, #SatCen Director Louis T. took part in the CISE High-Level Event, where he discussed SatCen’s geospatial intelligence capabilities in the context of Maritime Security. He highlighted SatCen’s critical role in supporting the EU Maritime Security Strategy (EUMSS), as well as its operational involvement in key initiatives like CISE and MARSUR. Through innovative space-based intelligence, SatCen helps bolster the EU’s security decision-making, benefiting both the EU and its Member States. Notably, a technical exercise successfully connected MARSUR and CISE nodes at SatCen, enabling real-time data sharing with stakeholders like EMSA, EDA, and Member States. SatCen’s involvement in CISE and participation in CISE-ALERT offer a significant opportunity to test and validate the potential for information-sharing between stakeholders, which ultimately enhances Maritime Domain Awareness.
