Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM), Abandoned Mines and Repositories (AMR), and Large Scale Mining (LSM), whether legal or illegal, are associated with negative environmental and social impacts. Despite regulations, mines are continuously and rapidly expanding, often, out of control.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there is a new normal termed “Isolation Plus”. This project identifies the hidden vulnerable in communities and empowers local organisations to help those individuals who may have remained uncovered during the crisis. The solution offers new and unexpected insights into where the most vulnerable in local communities reside.

Shipping Companies invest in safely transporting goods and/or passengers. Maintaining a quality portfolio of vessels, along with leading marine safety standards and capability, have taken on a greater importance than ever. Besides mere compliance, they want to verify the safe practices on board and assess the competencies of crew members. Our comprehensive solution increases the situational awareness on board and verifies safe practices at any moment and/or review actions when needed.  

Farm managers need efficient and objective means to plan and monitor their crops, to evaluate the outcome of field operations and plan new ones for example how much and where to apply fertiliser, water and crop protection agents or how to optimise the soil. For monitoring crop status, farmers can use high resolution images.

Increasing mining productivity through acquisition and analysis of operational data over a converged satellite/terrestrial communications architecture.

Floating Weed Manager is a surveillance and monitoring service for freshwaters where aquatic weeds cause social and economic disruption to communities living and working around impacted lakes and reservoirs. It combines radar and optical satellite EO data to provide weekly data and maps of weed coverage to support weed management programmes.

Xylene is a SaaS providing European importers of raw materials, a smart supply chain with transparency and control to comply with regulations and consumer demands and protect companies' brand reputation. This innovative approach combines supply chain data gathering and analytics with satellite technology (SatNav and EO) and blockchain to create supply chain transparency.

The SAFES feasibility study has the objective to identify and define applications that use highly innovative Satellite Communication technologies to support essential services in the Energy & Utilities and Media & Entertainment sectors 

An online tool is developed to visualize coastal erosion and accretion in Togo, Senegal and the Maldives. The tool is powered by Google Earth Engine platform and will provide information relevant to coastal zone management, institutions involved in financial planning of infrastructure projects, the tourism industry and entities involved in early warning and resilience.

Vake is making the oceans safer and more transparent by detecting and exposing IUU fishing activity. They deliver Deep Maritime Insights through automated data fusion of vessel trackers and satellite imagery. During the project, the work included activities towards NGOs and Government Agencies working on analyzing IUU fishing activities and other illegal or unreported activities.

Lyme Borreliosis (LB) is a rapidly growing health problem in the Highlands of Scotland.  Prevention is difficult because of the paucity of information about “hot spots”.  LymeApp integrates georeferenced disease data into spatial models using Earth Observation data alongside data from GP surgeries, and the Scottish National Lyme Borreliosis Testing Lab to produce an interactive risk map.

FATMAP’s app and 3D mapping technology helps people discover and navigate outdoor adventures all over the world. FATMAP ‘Live’ adds real-time data layers to the map including live satellite views, weather, webcams, local risks and conditions to make enjoying the outdoors easier and safer.

From portfolio or project analysis  down to single asset, Ai4Sendai  helps  key industries such as Energy, Oil And Gas, Insurance and banking, Real estate, Agriculture as well as  Public authorities and NGO  making the best informed decision  by providing a timely and accurate planetary intelligence for precisely locate their assets, identify their vulnerabilities to climate change and rate  risks to specific natural  hazard.

The WAMMO project, a continuation of Ascend XYZ’s AMMO project, aims to expand the service with ground radar data. Airports will be able to visualize bird activity and identify the associated areas of interest. Radar data and correlated EO data from multiple airports will be used to produce statistical models for airports not equipped with a radar and with similar habitats.

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.
