Alba Orbital is working to develop satellite applications which utilize each aircraft’s unique ‘Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast’ (ADS-B) signature. ADS-B signals contain data on flight path, and flight weather conditions, and can be used to enhance global weather forecasts, verify aircraft carbon emissions, and aid in Mayday scenarios, especially when fused with other satellite and ground based data-sets.

The project investigates the technical feasibility and commercial viability of an operational system for marine route optimisation, which integrates modelling/forecasts of ocean currents based on near-real time satellite altimetry data services. The service supports commercial users in the maritime community with respect to fuel savings, competiveness and port logistics as well as ship safety.

Trauma to the tibia or other bones leave patients needing extensive rehabilitation over many months. However, a combination of too few hospital beds and the patient’s preference to recover at home means that monthly trips to the hospital predominate the rehabilitation pathway. The frequency of the visit is suboptimal from a care perspective with the risk of complication and readmission a constant issue. The journey is likely to be inconvenient and expensive for the patient. The need for a service that provides daily, remote measurement of rehabilitation variables is needed for the benefit of all stakeholders. Hospitals, Insurance companies, employers, communities, patients and their families want more effective and efficient rehabilitation which is available to everyone, no matter where they live. Virtual Clinic Direct leverages the integration of Satellite Assets (Satcom and GNSS) with an intelligent medical device architecture (sensors, microprocessors, smart phones, machine learning, Bluetooth Low energy, 3G & 4G etc.) to create a ubiquitous service that measures and tracks: Healing rate of fractured boneLevel of behavioral compliancePatient progress against benchmarkRisk of complication and readmissionVirtual Clinic Direct leverages the integration of Satellite Assets (Satcom and GNSS) with an intelligent medical device architecture (sensors, microprocessors, smart phones, machine learning, Bluetooth Low energy, 3G&4G etc.) to create a ubiquitous service that measures and tracks: Healing rate of fractured boneLevel of behavioral compliancePatient progress against benchmarkRisk of complication and readmission

SmartCARE is an ICT platform of advanced e-health services where physicians and patients meet and manage daily activities, within a therapeutic process, in a collaborative way enabling an optimization of healthcare rehabilitation at home. SmartCARE IHC (Integrated Home Care) services will assure a constant verification of the therapeutic process without requiring the on-site presence of medical staff.

Developed by Archangel Imaging, WAMCam is an innovative solution integrating satellite communication and machine learning technologies to radically improve wildlife monitoring and population studies. Researchers and conservationists working in remote regions can deploy AI-enabled cameras to remotely monitor animal traps and study areas. Receiving prompt notifications of the wildlife identified by the cameras revolutionizes the effectiveness of conservation studies.

SolumScire makes soil data more valuable and useful. This service is based on better referenced and new spatial soil data and combines this with plant condition data to get better information on soils and plants as well as their important interactions. The data base improves modelling for precision farming to increase yield and to lower emissions.

Being developed by CGG’s NPA Satellite Mapping business unit, with support from ESA, OAPM aims to provide regular, cost effective, satellite-derived information over offshore assets to establish a baseline, and a programme of routine pollution monitoring. The emphasis of the OAPM service is not Near-Real-Time delivery of satellite imagery, but regular delivery of high-quality slick interpretation to enhance situational awareness.
