MACICO : Multi-Agency Cooperation In Cross-border Operations Samples of Evidence Series: Volume 4

The technological aspects of TETRA (TErrest rial Trunked RAdio) ISI (inter-system interface) have been possible for more than a decade. ISI and interoperability between different organizations in different countries were already tested in 2003 in the Three Country Pilot, regarded as phase 0, and again in 2009 in the Rakel-Bosnet pilot project (phase 1). The basis of inter operability comes from EU Commission Council Recommendation on improving radio communication between operational units in cross-border areas (Doc. 10141/09 ENFOPOL 143 TELECOM 116 COMIX 421) of the 4-5 June 2009. This article introduces the Multi-Agency Cooperation In Cross-border Operations (MACICO) project. The initial purpose of the MACICO project is to point out the need for an ISI or similar interfaces between different public safety networks. 3.1 MACICO as an International Research Community MACICO was a Celtic­Plus project. Celtic­Plus is part of EUREKA, an inter­governmental network of 41 members in Europe, including the European Commission. EUREKA funds and coordinates market­oriented R&D and innova­ tion projects of industry, research centers, and universities across all technological sectors. The project consortium of MACICO was formed by 9 part­ ners from 3 countries and different industries (see table 3­1). Cassidian France was responsible for coordinating the pro­ ject. The project started in December 2011 and lasted until May 2014.
