REALITY - 2019 to 2021

REALITY – 2019 to 2021

The goal of REALITY is to promote the use of EGNOS for safe drone operations, in the short term and in the context of the EU drone operations vision, the U-Space. For this, REALITY will map navigation performance and safety requirements –i.e., into accuracy, availability, continuity & integrity– and analyze to what extent EGNOS-based drone navigation systems meet them. REALITY works upon four types of social-relevant drone applications as project scenarios: (SC1) maritime surveillance, (SC2) ...

Wildlife Surveillance - 2019

Wildlife Surveillance – 2019

Eyeplane, an ESA BIC incubated company, is deploying surveillance services for African Wildlife and automatic treat detection using AI solutions. After Eyeplane the successful testing and operation setup performed in BCN Drone Center, our Test Site facilities, some additional requirements appeared. This lead to our technical and testing pilot staff travelling to Namibia to help Eyeplane solve some of their needs. There, our team performed the following tasks: • Set-up automatic take-off and landing in ...
