The GENIUS project, funded by the European Commission and coordinated by GMV, is developing an advanced system to improve the detection, classification, and neutralisation of explosive threats. By combining a broad range of sensors, unmanned platforms, and artificial intelligence, GENIUS aims to deliver high levels of accuracy and operational effectiveness in threat management.
The meeting brought together the consortium members to review the progress achieved during this first year of the project. The General Assembly also provided an opportunity for direct interaction with the European Commission’s Project Officer.
The work carried out by the consortium to date confirms the importance of cross-border collaboration in addressing complex defence challenges. It reinforces the consortium’s commitment to strengthening Europe’s defence technological and industrial base.
“The GENIUS consortium continues to make impressive and ambitious progress. The General Assembly in Brussels clearly demonstrated this. It was a pleasure to engage with the partners and interact with the robotics demonstration and test some of the technologies myself,” stated Giorgios Stavritis, Project Officer of the European Commission.
