The aim of the feasibility study is to evaluate a service for monitoring wildlife and farm animals. The service consists of a hardware part (collars for the animals, buy or lease) and a software to be offered as software as a service. For users these two parts are transparent, and they rent an overall service for animal tracking.

Rezatec and the Eden Project will explore how geospatial data analytics could benefit individual growers or forest owners with small areas under management, by providing commercially valuable and actionable decision support tools accessed via a self-service, digital platform. In addition, these analytics could be provided as an operational service to other creative visual installations at museums and institutions around the world.

RAPSODY, a project led by TEKEVER, will demonstrate the use of remotely piloted aerial systems (RPAS) in a wide area maritime context, through the execution of search & rescue and pollution monitoring missions. The missions will be executed in near-real scenarios over the Atlantic Ocean. The Satcom-enabled RPAS will be fully prepared and customized to perform these maritime missions, including the integration of specific payloads and the usage of specially tailored mission-oriented data fusion, data compression and automatic feature recognition and identification algorithms.

Soft commodities, such as soy and sugar, and their related financial derivatives, are widely traded on exchanges worldwide. At present, production data is only made available at fixed points through the year (usually after the growing season). The Soft-Alpha project provides predictive analysis on soft commodity crop performance, in a sector that is currently dependent on historical data. The project uses EO derived data products and analytics, to monitor performance on a dynamic basis, offering unique insights that not only provide competitive advantage to commodity traders, but also improve food security and increase transparency in regard to sustainability issues in the various supply chains.
Status date: 15 November 2018
The main objective of the project is to investigate user needs, technological feasibility and economic sustainability of the implementation of the EO-based solution allowing for detection and monitoring of habitats affected by invasive plant species.
