BROWSE PROJECTS
Based on user needs and industry skills, the evolution of customized solutions and the establishment of innovative services is accomplished through project activities. Focusing on various thematic areas, relevant information on the project activities is provided below.
Visu8
Status date: 28 November 2023
Satellite enabled smart autonomous micro-particulate analysis for real-time and remote water quality monitoring.
SiriusInsight®
Status date: 27 November 2023
90% of world trade goes by sea making it of great importance economically, strategically and environmentally but the maritime domain is vast and remote making persistent surveillance challenging. SiriusInsight® uses cutting edge artificial intelligence to analyse maritime data from multiple remote and autonomous sources in order to create actionable information for users about otherwise unobserved marine activity.
STARS
Status date: 27 November 2023
The STARS project aims to deliver a product consisting of the automation of real-time workout parameter registration during swimming workouts. Currently, there is no system available in open water swimming that allows for the real-time registration of both biomechanical and physiological parameters in a wearable and comfortable way.
SES5G
Status date: 27 November 2023
SES5G prevents, detects and manages wildfires and illegal actions in forestall areas.
The solution relies on satellite observation, autonomous drones, advanced firefighting sensors, security gates with plate readers, mobile control rooms that, with Artificial intelligent algorithms that feed with geolocalized data stakeholders control rooms (Civil protections, Environment department, Public protection, … ).
Ecosystems – CPV
Status date: 27 November 2023
Ecosystems – CPV provides data and modelling capabilities for utilizing coastal ecosystems as vital green infrastructure for protecting critical assets, business activities and people along coastal zones. The solution provides quantitative data and flexible modelling approaches to the insurance and infrastructure sectors, facilitating the effective and sustainable use of coastal ecosystems for disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation.
CROP
Status date: 27 November 2023
The CROP project is aiming to provide a steering tool for agricultural crop rotation. The principle is to offer dashboards to cooperatives and traders to take better decisions thanks to an AI model, satellite data, data projection and the implementation of a data space to characterize the situation at different levels (climate, soil, soil cover in intercropping, cultural practices, irrigation…).
CROP
Status date: 15 December 2020
The CROP project is aiming to provide a steering tool for agricultural crop rotation. The principle is to offer an exhaustive vision of past rotations but also to make a projection of the rotations in the one or two next years thanks to an AI model, satellite data and other data to characterize the situation (climate, soil, cultural practices, irrigation…).
Birdstrike
Status date: 20 May 2010
The present activity is concerned with reducing the risk to civil aviation of an accident in the airport airspace environment as a result of bird strike.
SA4D
Status date: 24 November 2023
The goal of the project “Space Acting for Decarbonisation (SA4D)” is to perform a feasibility study that will demonstrate the technical and economic viability of suitable satellite-based services for suggesting decarbonisation actions targeting agriculture, food production and building construction economic sectors.
TRACTIONS
Status date: 24 November 2023
TRACTIONS addresses the need for water transparency information by the dredging market and primary production information by the aquaculture sector. TRACTIONS services include continuous local calibration and validation with proprietary optical sensors from the WISPstation network, and very high resolution imagery that is available multiple times and day. This project will study the feasibility of the TRACTIONS service.
APPS
Status date: 24 November 2023
Water quality forecasting to enable business & government to optimise usage & risk. We help multiple stakeholders collectively measure, monitor & forecast real time water quality to become resilient and adaptive to climate change
AUDROS
Status date: 02 April 2019
The “Autonomous Drone Services in the CBRNe operations” (AUDROS) Feasibility Study assessed the technical feasibility and commercial viability of space-based services in combination with the emerging RPAS technologies which become a game changer in many service domains to improve the monitoring, early warning, surveillance and reaction on CBRNe events and threats.
ReSeNO Service
Status date: 01 November 2023
The ReSeNO kickstart project introduces a trustworthy service to manage, optimise and reduce the use of fertilisers in agriculture. Precise nitrogen estimation will strengthen agricultural sustainable practices to preserve earth’s natural resources, maintain soil quality, reduce chemical use, and save energy. It will also increase the economic profitability of agriculture and secure healthier land, helping on the food demand.
N-Base
Status date: 30 October 2023
N-base solution combines expertise in horticulture with advanced remote sensing technology and provides field maps for monitoring and optimization of nitrogen applications in apple orchards. This is how farmers gain actionable insights to facilitate precise and targeted nitrogen application.
SPOTLITE
Status date: 30 October 2023
Spotlite is an infrastructure monitoring system based on satellite imagery. It uses InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data to assess structural stability and ground subsidence over transportation networks (road and rail infrastructure), including pavement and adjacent slopes.
