Reducing the risk of bird strikes using satellite images and Ascend’s Normalised Difference Water index software (NDWI)
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.
DART
Status date: 09 November 2017
The DART service aims to offer affordable medium distance transportation capabilities to Polish professionals as primary target market. DART will be based on the use of light aircraft located all over the country, by exploiting GNSS-based approach procedures and remote AFIS services. It ambitions to be much cheaper and flexible than current air-taxi like services.
EM
Status date: 04 April 2023
This project followed a successful Feasibility Study in improving the GEOSATIS EM system/service, based on a next-generation GNSS bracelet, satellite communication/imagery; to enhance the current electronic monitoring system to a level where Geosatis has an edge over its competitors in terms of; communication, proximity, detail, signal broadcasting, bandwidth, and device use in a larger geographical area with limited. communication signals.
.
AMMO
Status date: 04 December 2020
Ascend offers two distinct disruptive services that cover all types and sizes of airports, from the smallest to the largest ones. These services offer analysis of Earth Observation data for safety monitoring of the airport surroundings, and combine it with a cloud and browser based management system. Thereby the AMMO services are supporting the airport operators who are asked by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to comply with the regulation EU 139/2014 on aerodrome safety.
FLARE
Status date: 10 June 2016
FLARE is an integrated software package and data service which supports the global forestry insurance industry in asset estimation, risk management and loss adjustment. This feasibility study analysed the operational, technical and economic viability of a FLARE system/ service providing Earth Observation and Global Navigation Satellite System data and mapping products, within a simple software interface.
MIDAS
Status date: 02 April 2019
Land mines and IEDs are a global problem that impact individuals, nations and the international community.
The MIDAS programme uses space services to improve efficiency, coordination, assurance, traceability, autonomy and safety of clearance operations; reducing casualties and returning land to productive use around the world.
TIKKA Service
Status date: 27 January 2020
The TIKKA's service is dedicated to support forest users during their operational task inherent to the development of timber logging plans. The service benefits from the integration of LIDAR, SAR and GNSS technologies. The project output (the maps, analysis and reports) will be published and available for all the authorized person via the web geoportal.
ASTROCAST
Status date: 25 March 2021
Astrocast is developing an advanced Nanosatellite network for the Internet of things (IoT).
OWASIS-NL
Status date: 27 January 2021
The lack of proper information on water availability is one of the most challenging obstacles for water management practices. To fight this challenge, OWASIS-NL uses space assets in two innovative water availability services that support effective water resource management in the Netherlands and South Africa.
ONE CLASS! Open Network for Education
Status date: 05 October 2020
The ONE CLASS! project proposes an efficient satcom based solution integrated with eLearning services, aiming at supporting two main activities:
- Basilicata Multi-classes: ONE CLASS! supports rural schools located in the Basilicata Region (IT), which need to face the problem of the so-called “multi-classes” with the additional constraint represented by the geographical isolation.
- Social Integration Services for Foreign Unaccompanied Minors (FUM): ONE CLASS! supports social operator entities and reception centres of immigrants and all other NGOs active in the field, which need to offer to foreign unaccompanied minors (FUM) educational and social inclusion services, being often located in very remote areas.
InsureApp Service
Status date: 10 November 2020
The objective of this project is to demonstrate a web-based Water Control Room which improves the efficiency of insurance claim management and water management before, during and after weather-related hazards. The key service offered is the Flood and Rain Report Generator which automatically generates reports for specific flood or rainfall events based on information from satellites, radars, gauges and crowdsourcing
DG-TRAC Demo Project
Status date: 10 December 2019
The DG-Trac project addresses the tracking and tracing of dangerous goods in the medical sector integrating and using navigational and communication space services together with GSM/UMTS and Internet. DG-Trac introduces a centralised mechanism for the management and distribution of information concerning each dangerous goods transport.
In case of an accident, emergency service will be informed about the involved dangerous goods.
EUROPORT
Status date: 07 January 2020
Ports are fundamental and main part of inter-modal global transport in the world. The growth in freight transport stresses the existing infrastructure to its limits. There are already considerable signs of congestion in the European transport system, e.g. on the roads and in harbors. Congestion will have a negative impact on the costs and time of transportation, which affects the prices and the quality of products.
EUROPORT aims to optimize the synchronization between the several transportation modes reducing the downtime in the logistic chain.
