The Aim of the Project
In case of wide scale terroristic or attacks able to render
useless Internet links the aim of the Project named
SWING was:
1. to establish the basis for a South European robust
radio network, based on SW architecture;
2. to utilize innovative ionospheric sounding techniques
and real time signal processing and forecasting, to
support Critical Infrastructure communications, both
short and long range.

The Aim of the Project
In fact the potential risk of wide scale terrorist attacks
able to put out of order, for a long period, the internet
connections capabilities exposes the some European
Critical Infrastructures (ECIs), like electric power
distribution and production infrastructure, CPAs, safety
and defense organization, water distribution agency,
airports, etc. in a stage of vulnerability because of some
essential information are transferred by means of
internet both for management and control.

The Aim of the Project
The aim of SWING was to study a high survival HF radio
network (data/voice) to real time support of ECIs
communications, maintaining the minimum flux of
essential information for the management and control in
case of wide scale terrorist attacks able to render internet
links useless over the Mediterranean region.
This will increase the awareness of ECIs operator in the
extreme case of the complete broadband failure of the
communication.

Objectives
1.
To study internet communications criticality.
2.
To analyze the requirements necessary to ECIs and CGAs
management and control.
3.
To develop a communication protocols in order to define
standard software and hardware tools supporting reliable and
interoperable Short Wave radio communication techniques for
ECIs and CGAs protection.
4.
To study the frequency management system taking into account
the special characteristics of the ionospheric channel.
5.
To design a radio-communication architecture for a distributed
South European short wave radio network.

The Aim of the Project
Target groups
Agencies and institution devoted to management of
Critical Infrastructures that are linked by internet
network.
Expected results
The project is finalized to demonstrate the feasibility of a
network high survival HF communication as buck-up
and independent system to ensure minimum
management and communication requirements, in the
case of internet failure due to a terrorist attack.
