Accurate Solution for SUrface movements with tRusted E‐signature
Status date: 18 October 2019
The ASSURE project aims to integrate a GNSS and SatCom-enabled device with blockchain technology to provide continuous monitoring of surface displacements. ASSURE is used to monitor areas that are vulnerable to land deformation and critical infrastructure at risk of external forces endangering their stability. Such monitoring will be carried out using a certified device and thus producing certified data.
WAMMO (AMMO CCN#1)
Status date: 15 October 2019
The WAMMO project, a continuation of Ascend XYZ’s AMMO project, aims to expand the service with ground radar data. Airports will be able to visualize bird activity and identify the associated areas of interest. Radar data and correlated EO data from multiple airports will be used to produce statistical models for airports not equipped with a radar and with similar habitats.
