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.
TransparentForests (FS)
Status date: 14 August 2015
Forest products such as paper, wood and composite materials are used in everything from construction to news distribution and energy generation, yet they may represent considerable environmental and social impacts. Today, knowing the origin and life cycle of product constituents is important for both retailers and consumers. Major corporations do not like to be associated with poor forest management: it is bad for business and for customer relations.
Space Applications using Animal tracking data
Status date: 30 November 2018
The aim of the feasibility study is to evaluate a service for monitoring wildlife and farm animals. The service consists of a hardware part (collars for the animals, buy or lease) and a software to be offered as software as a service. For users these two parts are transparent, and they rent an overall service for animal tracking.
DeSIRE II
Status date: 27 June 2017
DeSIRE II, Second Element of the ESA EDA RPAS Demonstration Roadmap, aims at developing and demonstrating a service based on a Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) flying in Beyond Radio Line of Sight (BRLOS) using a dual satcom link supporting Command and Control (C2) and Air Traffic Control (ATC) functions.
The project also aims at demonstrating to the users the potential of RPAS complemented by satellite applications (Satcom, Satnav and Earth Observation) for developing new services for operations.
Project objectives are pursued by means of a real flight campaign using Piaggio Aerospace P.1HH RPAS, and complemented by simulation and emulation activities.
MAPCAM
Status date: 29 November 2018
MAPCAM provides crop identification and crop productivity information through the growing season to support a number of different regulatory, policy, planning and protection functions aimed at ensuring food security and adaptation to above-average climate change impacts.
DAMMINGS
Status date: 24 May 2017
The project designed, developed and carried out pre-operations of a service platform providing an automated and continuous monitoring service of dam infrastructure and its surroundings by integrating GNSS and InSAR space capabilities.
Project U
Status date: 20 May 2016
Project U is about a new generation software/hardware platform and services that enable an enhanced User-centered learning experience combining together physical and digital presence, promoting active participation versus passive presence.
DAEDALUS
Status date: 13 December 2017
The DAEDALUS service offered by Satavia aims to assist airlines, air navigation service providers, and aircraft and aeroengine manufacturers to increase operational safety and efficiency, and increase situational awareness of stakeholders on aircraft and the ground. Key objectives include in-flight detection and forecasting of a range of aviation hazards, and analytics to support flight operations.
AquaFarm
Status date: 16 November 2018
Aquafarm brings together satellite data and Soil-Plant-Air models to provide operational services to Farmers’ service providers as well as national institutions related with crop development and forecast.
Space Applications for Wildlife
Status date: 15 November 2018
The services helps private and public organizations with assessing, monitoring, preventing, managing, and planning strategy for wildlife conservation.
SAMIPS
Status date: 15 November 2018
The main objective of the project is to investigate user needs, technological feasibility and economic sustainability of the implementation of the EO-based solution allowing for detection and monitoring of habitats affected by invasive plant species.
TELEKAIROS®
Status date: 29 October 2018
TELEKAIROS® Fintech is a tool for financial and (re)insurance contracts that derive value from an underlying asset such a traditional stock, a bond or stock index. TELEKAIROS is capable to manage different kinds of risks, for example by increasing the efficiency of the underlying market because they lower unforeseen costs of purchasing an asset outright.
SFCS
Status date: 06 November 2018
Satellite Fruit Control System (SFCS) based on the use of smartphone, image processing and EGNSS technology combined in developed application will allow to estimate the quantity, physical and qualitative parameters of fruits planned for harvest.
