Two cross-country and cross-organization pilots will be performed in two phases each. The first one will be implemented in France, with the collaboration of technical partners and French end-user partners (DMA), while the Italian Navy will have real-time access to the surveillance picture that RANGER will provide through the implementation of the RANGER CISE service and its transmission through the developed CISE gateway.

Similarly, the same approach will be followed during the second validation pilot in a completely different Maritime environment (numerous islands in contrast to the open sea environment of the first pilot) that the Aegean Sea in Greece offers. The pilot will be conducted by the Greek authorities (Hellenic Navy and Hellenic Coast Guard), supported by the technical RANGER partners, while the Italian Navy will also have real-time access to the surveillance picture that RANGER will provide through the implementation of the RANGER CISE service and its transmission through the developed CISE gateway.
