ENCIRCLE project
EU-SENSE project has been collaborating with ENCIRCLE project from the very start. ENCIRCLE project capitalizes on its experience in the EDEN Demonstration Project, other CBRN relevant projects, and in the CBRN market and supply chain, the ENCIRCLE consortium proposes an innovative approach to reach this goal in a short to long term perspective. Once achieved it will allow SMEs and large industries to deliver and invest in the best innovations on the market.
ENCIRCLE has five key objectives aimed at promoting innovation and business development to fill market gaps in the project timeframe:
- Create an open and neutral EU CBRN cluster,
- Provide a sustainable and flexible vision and roadmap for the development of the European CBRN market and innovations,
- Provide integration with platforms (systems, tools, services, products) by proposing standardized interfaces and future EU standards to integrate CBRN technologies and innovations developed from the Part b projects of the H2020-SEC-05-DRS CBRN Cluster call,
- Support CBRN safety, security and defence commercial and market services,
- Improve and facilitate European CBRN dissemination and exploitation.
The project is conducted by a consortium of specialized industries, trade associations and research organisations with flexible and lean procedures under the advice of the EC Community of Users. It will rely on two large interactive communities: practitioners and customers, and industrial and technological providers: the latter including many SMEs. To optimize the needs and gaps assessment, as well as innovation development, acceptance and success, ENCIRCLE will establish formal links with other consortia such as future Part b projects.
The main expected impact is the enhancement of the EU CBRN industry’s competitiveness. This will allow it to enlarge its market share while increasing the benefits of the EU research and innovation to improve CBRN preparedness, response, resilience and recovery efficiency.

The recently finished EU-RADION project is a direct sucessor to the EU-SENSE project. It developed a novel solution for RN hazard detection, utilizing a network of sensor nodes composed of different RN sensors. The goal was to increase the situational awarness and safety of the first responders. It was achieved thanks to the Tactical Command Tool application and the UGV sensor platform, as well as the lessons learned in the EU-SENSE project.

CHIMERA (Comprehensive Hazard Identification, and Monitoring systEm for uRban Areas) is a research and innovation project with a time duration of 36 months. The CHIMERA consortium consolidates 12 organizations and puts effort in increasing the real capabilities of European CBRN practitioners. The key aspect of the CHIMERA project is the response to actual needs of European practitioners and its high TRL value, allowing for the system’s route to market. The final system will be equipped with a heterogeneous CBRN data collection layer, improved data processing (including data fusion of heterogeneous sensor signals), and strengthened situational awareness for first responders. It aims to utilize the knowledge gained in the EU-SENSE and EU-RADION projects.
