2 R a t i o n a l e The use of aerial components for image provision has been requested by the Copernicus users and by consequence included and accepted in the Copernicus work-program Alternative imagery source (post event) when satellite images cannot provide and to test integration in the Copernicus EMS operations Satellite imagery has some issues such as : Detecting high level of detail in urban areas Prolonged delivery time due to satellite orbit Sensor limitations and cloud cover Arial platforms can yield significant benefits due to : Higher flexibility of deployment and better timeliness Superior resolution over VHR satellite imagery Quick deployable Can fly under cloud canopy (ex. To outline floods in urban areas) Rapid revisit opportunities (monitoring) 2

3 F r a m e w o r k c o n t r a c t f o r a e r i a l i m a g e r y Deliverables Ortho rectified imagery (RGB or NIR) + Digital elevation model or Digital surface model Delivery and deployment time Request by DG JRC trough a dedicated order form. After signature by both parties the contractor has 48 Hr to deliver. Communication protocol to monitor the work 3

4 F r a m e w o r k c o n t r a c t o r s Unmanned aerial component cm resolution Ortho rectified imagery (RGB and NIR + Digital surface model Up to 625 km2 Price per km2

5 F r a m e w o r k c o n t r a c t o r s Manned aerial component 10 cm resolution Ortho rectified imagery (RGB and NIR + Digital surface model Max 40 km2 per day Price per module

6 P r o j e c t s U A V i n s u p p o r t o f C E M S France in support to EMSR165 scope: test the uas deployment time and deliverables for fast integration into Copernicus EMS workflow. Output ortho-rectified imagery RGB 10 cm resolution Digital surface model Portugal in support to EMSN034 scope: planning for contingencies on vulnerable coastal areas coastal risk erosion maps. Output ortho-rectified imagery RGB and NIR 10 cm resolution Digital surface model Italy in support of a future RRM scope: attempt to monitor the structural evolution of the mining site with specific emphasis on cracks, openings and extensive fractures. Output ortho-rectified imagery RGB and NIR 10 cm resolution Digital surface model Spain Montan in support of RRM activation EMSN-029 Scope : generate damage delineation and grading maps, landslide, erosion and flash flood risk map + biomass and biodiversity loss assessment. Output ortho-rectified imagery RGB and NIR 10 cm resolution Digital surface model

7 O p e r a t i o n a l d i f f i c u l t i e s The 120 m AGL limit for mapping purposes is problematic 0.3 km2 per flight for 120 m 12 km2 per flight for 500 m 120m in an area with high terrain variations made the project very complex. Conclusion : The limitation of flying altitude had an important impact on the overall organization of the on-site data

8 8 18 July 2017 E x a m p l e M o t a n Almost image shots to cover 33 km 2 with 120 m altitude limit!!!!

9 C o n c l u s i o n f o r U A V Need for a emergency Notam to be able to fly in a privatized area (segregated airspace) for time x without altitude / width limitation in the Area Of Interest Need for an accelerated process in case of emergency European regulation with the same procedure in all countries The best option would be to have a specific authorization in case of emergency allowing us to fly at the best altitude to optimize the GSD and the flight time. Higher flight altitude means less time on site for data acquisition and less time for data processing, this is key to the success of the mission. 9
