TESTUDO is an international innovation project funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe programme in Resilient Infrastructure addressing the HORIZON-CL3-2022-INFRA-01-02 topic (Autonomous systems used for infrastructure protection).

The main goal of the project is to utilise state-of-the-art technologies for detection, prevention and prediction to deliver a highly mature platform for continuous Critical Infrastructure monitoring even at harsh environments and remote territories.

TESTUDO aims to enhance the surveillance and protection of the European Critical Infrastructure using autonomous systems and advance technologies to ensure their reliable, robust and resilient operation.

This will be achieved by accomplishing the following operational objectives:

 Providing autonomous surveillance via synergic operation of unmanned vehicles and fixed resources

 Delivering secure and efficient telecom networks for remote areas and interoperable devices

 Developing improved AI-based cognitive models for optimal surveillance

 Incorporating intelligence for prediction and coordinated response

 Ensuring increased situational awareness via novel HMI technologies

 Validating the proposed solution via large-scale and cross-sectorial demonstrators

 Enabling a wider deployment of robotic technologies within the European community in the CI protection domain
