The Swedish Defense Materiel Administration (FMV) has financed a project at the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI) regarding surveillance sensors. The project is aimed at spreading information to various government agencies and exploring how inter-agency cooperation regarding surveillance sensors can be further developed. As a part of this project, FOI has hosted a series of workshops where various safety-related topics have been discussed. Also, dialogues have been held between FOI and various agencies and decision makers on how security systems can better meet future challenges. This document presents selected discussions and conclusions as well as recommendations for continued work. A problem raised by participating agency representatives is that sensor exchange between authorities is largely based on personal and informal contacts between civil servants and that there is a need to reduce this dependency. This could be achieved through a government-wide management support giving officials an overview of available resources, services and abilities that other organizations can assist with and how these can be made available. A management support system could also make it easier for senior executives to get an overview of what support is currently needed within their own organization. Workshop participants assessed that there is also a greater need for exchanges in the future, where both equipment and personnel are exchanged between the agencies, rather than the exchange of equipment only. It is recommended by the authors that concerned agencies carry out a thorough analysis of their needs to visualize the current need of enhanced cooperation, thereby identifying opportunities for future development. In addition, it is recommended that a common surveillance taxonomy is developed in order to make it easier to link the needs of one agency to the abilities of another. This is the bedrock for increasing cooperation between the authorities. Finally, it is recommended that different forms for a government-wide management support systems for increased cooperation and exchange, within the surveillance area, are developed.
