Multi-Agency Cooperation in Cross-border Operations (MACICO) Project

Abstract

Multi-Agency Cooperation In Cross-border Operations (MACICO) is a Celtic-Plus project with nine partners from Finland, France and Spain. The duration of the project is Dec 2011 – May 2014. It develops a concept for interworking for security organisations in their daily activity. It deals with the cooperation of security organisations that do not use (in their day-to-day job) the same radio network, but in some missions could take benefit from a sharing of their respective infrastructure. Use cases such as pursuit of criminals across a border, close support of vehicles going through a border, and disaster relief operations require security organisations from both countries to communicat together and to continue to communicate with their control room. The paper presents the MACICO research project.
