WEO’s TreeMonitor enables municipalities and asset managers to optimise tree maintenance and management by tracking tree growth and health with space data. Spot trees posing a risk to critical infrastructure, track progress towards tree planting goals and identify trees in poor health all from one tool.

SEUSS  integrates satellite derived weather and ship position data into HR Wallingford’s underwater noise model, improving the assessment of the impact of noise on marine life.

Seafar and neXat are crafting a navigational masterpiece, a semi-autonomous shipping service utilizing satellite communications to redefine maritime efficiency. In this project we will be developing algorithms, forging heat maps that illuminate the path to seamless connectivity. As we plot this course, our machine-to-machine interfaces will light the way for ship captains, optimizing satellite usage and reducing costs. 

The project introduces a 5G-enabled satellite educational platform to deliver academic experiences. Integrating space education, satellite navigation, and Earth observation enhances environmental awareness. Utilizing AI and VR/AR, it tackles educational challenges and offers personalized learning paths. Ensuring accessibility for students with disabilities and those in remote areas, it includes a ground station monitoring facility for satellite communication and data acquisition.

The 5G-assisted Maritime Autonomous Surface Ship (5G MASS) focuses on the domain of assisted and autonomous shipping in the proximity of seaports. The purpose of the project was to develop a system (5G MASS namely) and implement a set of functional blocks, shared between the ship and the port digital environment where a prototype of Remote Operation Center is deployed. Thanks to the terrestrial 5G millimetre-wave network, the 5G MASS system aggregates real-time information shared between the shipboard and the Remote Operation Center with the aim to assist the pilot and the bridge team in the berthing operations.

Inteliports develops autonomous, heavy lift drones and drone ports for the future of aerial logistics. The PORTAL project is seeking to trial demonstration of multimodal, collaborative logistics involving unmanned, aerial drones and micromobility with advanced robotics, automated infrastructure and SATCOMS enabled technologies. The project is a collaboration between Inteliports and Vodafone. 

The ANESI kickstart introduces a trustworthy service for aerial inspections to manage, optimize, and maintain solar parks. By using autonomous navigation based on computer vision and precisely detecting anomalies through thermal images, operational inspection and processing time is considerably reduced. The increase in efficiency of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) flights and data handling have a great impact on the energy generated, reducing costs and boosting customer profits, while reducing CO2 emissions.

GreenerCotton services support the implementation, certification, and transparency of sustainable cotton standards with satellite enabled technology. GreenerCotton is targeting two main use cases: 1. Supporting standardisation companies in implementation and certification 2. Supporting extension services (field advisory) to implement standards and improve production.

The aim of PLATIN is to develop a satcom-enabled platform to support flight operations in real-time (aircraft manufacturers’ flight tests, science flights, UAV surveillance flights). This service is a major evolution of the already existing PLANET service. Innovations in PLATIN are focusing on the integration of a new generation of Satcom (Iridium Certus) allowing new applicative services such as video/high-resolution images transmission or bulk telemetry thanks to higher throughputs.

The AC-DC project focuses on applying various types and techniques of GNSS combinations, including the new Galileo High Accuracy Service (HAS), in operational scenarios to improve the performance and reliability of a dynamic high-accuracy positioning service and reduce separation distancing in and around air/vertiports and logistical nodes that could be considered congested areas.

The Satellite Data Freight Calculator (SDFC) project aims to significantly innovate the dry bulk shipping industry by developing an advanced freight pricing tool combining market prices with carbon emissions. This service integrates AIS Satellite data with deep learning algorithms to predict ocean freight prices accurately and in near real-time.

Wastewater market intelligence company Klarifi has conducted a Kick-start activity to do Wastewater Structure Detection from Satellite Imagery (WSDSI). By accurately mapping the structures at 100,000+ wastewater facilities, we will provide highly valuable data to our clients and gain a unique competitive edge in the wastewater market intelligence space.

Feasibility study of innovative communication services based on Earth Observation (EO) data in the Green domain, which can facilitate the generation of scientific media content to be communicated in the climate change domain. It aims at increasing public awareness of climate change and citizens active participation in local authorities' green transition plans/policies.

Firemapper delivers real-time, high-resolution and cost-efficient wildfire mapping and analytics, leveraging space assets for enhanced crisis response and mitigation of CO2 emissions and environmental fallout.

VertiRapid is a cutting-edge service designed to facilitate safe and efficient flight operations around vertiports (vertical landing/starting areas) for drones and Vertical Take Off and Landing aircraft. Leveraging available geodata and verified with Earth Observation (EO) techniques, VertiRapid swiftly determines operational parameters crucial for safe flight, aligning with ISO/DIS 5491 standards and European Aviation Safety Agency guidelines.

Our cities have more paved land than lawns, and although the lawns have spurred an exponentially growing market for robotic lawnmowers, no similar robotics solution exists for autonomous maintenance of paved areas. O-Robotics has a mission to develop the AMR-Sweeper, a multipurpose Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) to sustainably address the maintenance needs of paved areas in our cities.

Space4LevelCrossing is a feasibility study of technical and commercial viability of innovative solutions based on use of satellite data in combination with the train on-board environment perception system for improving safety of Level Crossings.
