“Sustainable water management at regional scalethrough Airborne Remote Sensing based on

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)”AG_UAS

Project title and acronym: “Sustainable water management at regional scale through Airborne Remote Sensing based on Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)”- AG_UAS

Objective: To demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of a new Remote Sensing technology based on UAS (unmanned aerial systems) to improve water management, contributing to its sustainable use on a regional scale.



What does it propose?

A developed technology (UAS-VTOL)

A problem that exists with respect to the use of water: Resource utilization (efficiency of hydraulic infrastructures, irrigation optimization, etc.) Safety of mine exploitation storage facilities.Resource protection (dumping, thermal pollution, etc.) Efficient control of the water status. Water resource inventory.

Expected results:

1.1 demonstrator prototype instrumented with a high resolution / gyro stabilized thermal infrared (IR) camera (8-12 µm), with maximum take off and landing weight (MTOW) of 75 kg and 1,5 h endurance

1 demonstrator prototype instrumented with a multispectral camera ( 6 bands) with MTOW of 20 Kg and 30 min endurance

1.Spectral, geo-referenced, imaging information of the environmental applications objective for interpretation and analysis in order to evaluate technical feasibility

2.Real operating costs information about imaging data collection and interpretation in order to evaluate economic feasibility

3.Establishment of contacts and enough audience at national and European level of public bodies related to water management as potential futures customers

4.Establishment of the best operative procedures to carry out the proposed environmental missions including, among other, the suitable atmospheric conditions and time during day for maximum detectivity, flight conditions, the on board instrumentation and the operating parameters
