UID	82
Name	Critical Infrastructure Analysis
Acronym
Description	Critical infrastructures are assets (in this context, located outside the EU), of which the operational status is critical to the functioning of systems whose failure could seriously disrupt EU interests and impact ongoing EU policy activities. Transportation and industrial infrastructure are typical examples. Using one or more satellite images, analysts create products in which they assess the operational status of the facility. Multiple images are used for longer-term monitoring of activities in and around the infrastructure of interest. The analysis can determine, for example, whether an airfield is operational and usable for logistical deployment, the progress in the construction of a dam or whether an oil refinery is performing normally. Application area: Transport Safety and Security
