SaturnX
Status date: 15 January 2025
SaturnX is a drone-based wind turbine inspection service collecting high-resolution RGB images from an offshore wind farm-resident Launch/Recovery/Recharge Platform (LARRP), thereby replacing traditional inspections involving technicians manually climbing turbines using ropes or semi-manual inspections via drones operated from a pilot on the vessel deck. SaturnX inspection flights are conducted BVLOS, enabled by satcom technology and operated from an onshore Control Centre.
Smart Urban Tree Management
Status date: 21 January 2025
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
Status date: 21 January 2025
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.
SeaNext
Status date: 21 January 2025
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.
SCOTSS
Status date: 21 January 2025
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.
5G MASS
Status date: 21 January 2025
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 PORTAL
Status date: 17 January 2025
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.
ANESI
Status date: 17 January 2025
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
Status date: 17 January 2025
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.
PLATIN
Status date: 17 January 2025
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.
