It is relevant to consider the creation of a “signal group” or a “signal network”, which would search for specific “emerging” technological applications and ways of their efficient use in the area of security. At the same time, this group or network would focus on specific applications, which make use of aforementioned technologies that are already being used by the private sector. This group should not create any strategy, but should serve to exchange best practices with regard to technologies already in use, which would be brought to a wider expert attention in the EU. The group would also represent a technically oriented detector of other relevant directions of the short-term development as well as a filter for non-prospective solutions.
