This document is the “Project Results Review” report of the Surveillance in an Urban environment using Mobile sensors Project, corresponding to the Contract A-0827-RT-GC [AD. 2] of the “Defence R&T Joint Investment Programme on Force Protection” (A-0120-RT-GC) under the Call “Data Analysis, including Data Fusion from various Sources” (A-0444-RT-GC). SUM considers the development of new active and passive millimetre wave sensors and uses them in combination with optical and infrared cameras in order to acquire data under adverse atmospheric conditions during day and night time from the surrounding environment to detect threats. It follows a multi-sensor approach, where the data fusion engine infers threats by exploiting the synergies between the subsystems. The threats are reported to the operator via a Human Machine Interface. The purpose of this document is to summarize the different results produced in the SUM project and to give an outlook of the project conclusions. The SUM project results include a set of delivered documents, the SUM demonstrator and the SUM demonstration campaign.
