AWARE EU PROJECT

What AWARE EU PROJECT does

AWARE EU PROJECT is a European Union-funded research consortium that develops the AWARE module — a hardware/software solution enabling the reception and processing of Galileo Emergency Warning Satellite Service (Galileo EWSS) messages on fixed devices such as display panels, sirens, long-range acoustic devices (LRAD), digital urban furniture, and indoor warning systems. The project addresses the limitations of smartphone-based public alerting by extending satellite-based emergency warnings to people both indoors and in outdoor public spaces, including scenarios where terrestrial telecommunications networks are disrupted. The AWARE module has been validated through three live demonstrations conducted across Slovenia (October 2025, natural disaster scenario), France (November 2025, urban emergency), and Latvia (April 2026, industrial catastrophe), each testing a different device integration pathway.

The consortium consists of eight partners from four European countries and is led by Telespazio France. Partners include FDC, JCDecaux (digital urban furniture), Genasys (LRAD acoustic devices), EENA (European Emergency Number Association), CNES (French space agency), ICube-SERTIT/Université de Strasbourg, and the Administration for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief of Slovenia (ACPDR). The project receives funding from the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA) under the HORIZON-EUSPA-2021-SPACE programme, grant agreement no. 101082555. The project ran from 2024 to May 2026, when it published its final project brief and transitioned focus toward commercialization and real-world deployment.

AWARE's business model is grant-funded research rather than commercial revenue. There is no disclosed pricing, no paying customers, and no recurring revenue streams. The consortium has signaled a post-project go-to-market focused on supporting EU member states through national demonstrations, pilot projects, and tailored integration activities, with the explicit intent to enable adoption of Galileo EWSS through public warning system operators and civil protection authorities. The target customer base is exclusively governmental — civil protection agencies, disaster relief organizations, and public warning infrastructure operators across European cities and regions.

Core offering

The AWARE Module is a hardware and software module that receives Galileo Emergency Warning Satellite Service (Galileo EWSS) messages and forwards them to fixed alerting devices. It enables acoustic sirens, digital urban furniture displays, and indoor warning systems to broadcast emergency alerts, extending public warning coverage beyond mobile phones. The consortium also offers national demonstrations, feasibility studies, and pilot project support to EU countries for validating Galileo EWSS integration pathways.

Product overview

AWARE EU PROJECT is a single unified product ecosystem centered on the AWARE Module—a hardware/software solution that receives Galileo Emergency Warning Satellite Service (Galileo EWSS) messages and distributes them to fixed warning devices. The product integrates with four main device types: long-range acoustic devices (LRAD) from Genasys, digital urban furniture from JCDecaux, indoor warning systems connected to desktop monitors, and display panels/sirens. This multi-channel approach extends public warning beyond smartphone-based alerts, ensuring satellite-based emergency messages reach people even when terrestrial networks are disrupted.
