Indra is in charge of implementing and launching the operation of the Integrated System for surveillance (SIVE: Sistema Integrado de Vigilancia) at Romania’s Black Sea Border.

This integrated system for control and observation of maritime traffic provide Romania’s territorial waters and 245 km of its coastline with protection from threats of all kinds, and facilitate assistance and rescue at sea and fishing fleet control.

To develop this project, Indra has deployed a surveillance system that is composed of several sensor stations, with radar and electro-optical systems, one radio-link network and a command center. The function of this centre, located in the city of Constanza, is to integrate all the data compiled by sensor stations to create a common and unified scenario of the Romanian coast to alert the system operators of possible threats (drug traffic, illegal immigration, smuggling of goods, etc.).

This will facilitate the decision-making process and will also coordinate the authorities' actions with enough time for an effective response.

The design of the system implemented in Romania is based on the External Surveillance Integrated System (SIVE) of border security that Indra has implemented in different stretches of the Spanish coastline, and that has been successfully exported to other countries such as Latvia or Hong-Kong.
