In July 2023, APPRAISE partners descended on the Basque Country to carry out the next set of piloting activities. The scenario was based around a coordinated terrorist attach during a cycle race that crosses from the Spanish side of the border over into France.
The scenario placed a heavy emphasis on the collaboration and coordination between the Ertzaintza - the Basque Police, the private security operators led by ALSE, the race organisers OCETA and the SWAT team based in France (RAID). A special thanks also to VICOMTECH for their extensive support during the pilot preparation and implementation.
During the scenario, the APPRAISE system facilitates rapid and effective sharing and analysis of different data streams including from CCTV, social media and drone footage to support the apprehension of the terrorist and neutralise the threat.
