During the meeting, the federation's representatives said that the program currently involves 15 member states, and that the total costs of the project are EUR 1.27 billion. The aim of the "Alliance Ground Surveillance" program is to establish a system that would provide an efficient land and aerial surveillance, using "Global Hawk" unmanned aircraft.

In order to realize the project, Latvia-registered Komerccentrs DATI grupa has been involved with a task to create various data exchange and transformation modules. The program is scheduled for finalization in 2017, when it will begin to be implemented.

The federation's representatives urged Latvia to take advantage of Germany's experience on establishing a joint information center, and expressed hope that the cooperation between Latvian and German experts and agreement on further steps on a national level, will give way to the "Alliance Ground Surveillance" project in Latvia – offering practical contributions for the safety of the state and its residents.
