The four-year initiative brings together industrial, research and academic partners from five EU Member States under GMV’s coordination.
The project will develop an advanced AI and physics-based toolbox for automated 3D structural modelling and effect prediction over critical infrastructure and heavily built up areas in support of defense and dual use cases.
The European Defense Fund (EDF) research project PRECISE (Prediction and Response of Effectors on Critical Infrastructure and Structural Environments) has officially started, bringing together a strong European consortium to develop advanced technologies for automated structural modelling of infrastructures and effect prediction in predominantly built-up environments.
Coordinated by GMV, PRECISE is a four-year research action involving nine partners and two affiliated entities from five EU Member States: Belgium, France, Greece, Italy and Spain.
COTESA, FlySight, GMV, IKH, Indra, Indra Space, MEWS Partners, MEWS Labs and XenomatiX, together with the Royal Military Academy of Belgium and the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre, will work together to study the challenge, develop and integrate knowledge, and design the PRECISE toolset.
The project addresses a growing operational need to better assess critical infrastructure and urban terrain in both defensive and offensive military use cases, as well as in civilian and dual-use contexts.
PRECISE will develop a cutting-edge European toolbox combining multi-source data collection, AI-based structural modelling, and hybrid AI and physics-based effect prediction models. By exploiting satellite imagery, aerial and ground collected data, from EO, SAR, LiDAR and other sensors, the project will enable the automated generation of detailed 3D structural models and the simulation of interactions between those structures and different physical effectors. This capability will support more informed decision-making, helping to improve optimized operational planning while reducing uncertainty and potential collateral effects.
With the Project kick-off process completed, PRECISE enters its initial phase focused on work package synchronization, requirements definition, data collection planning and system architecture design.
Mews Partners contributed to the PRECISE project:
- For Mews Labs: developing structural modelling algorithms
- For Mews Partners: supporting the consolidation of the user needs and high level architecture (MBSE) through pull-flow engineering and ensuring the dissemination and exploitation activities.
