NAUPLIOS is a two years Galileo Pilot Project under the Growth thematic programme of the 5th RTD Framework Programme of the European Union (Feb.2002 - April 2004).

NAUPLIOS demonstrates new maritime surveillance and safety services, based on GNSS and satellite communication systems, through a six months demonstration involving six vessels and hundreds of simulated ones.

The new services improve:

• Maritime transport surveillance, with vessels identification from open sea up to coastal zone, ship data and dangerous goods data for every vessel in surveillance zone,

• Search And Rescue, with remote SAR beacon activation and transmission of message towards beacon, improvement in localisation,

• Information sharing with harbours and commercial companies.
