GIAS aims to increase the safety of navigation in the cross-border area, in continuity with the provisions of the SICOMARplus strategic project. The fundamental objective of the project will be to help minimize the risk of collision between boats, both related to weather and linked to the presence of large sea obstacles. Furthermore, the project is aimed at increasing the awareness of the risk on the part of the users of the sea, also promoting better management of emergencies in the event of an accident.

In continuity with the SicomaPlus project, the forecasting chains of meteo-marine conditions and the dispersion and tracking modeling of pollutants and large objects potentially dangerous for navigation will be further developed with the enhancement of the joint emergency support system.

A surveillance network will also be developed with the introduction of a real-time alarm, based on an artificial intelligence algorithm, for the detection of live cetaceans in areas with a high density of ship traffic.
