Improve Disaster Response Capacity

The goal of the IDRC feasibility study is to elaborate an operational service which exploits the capabilities of satellite communication, satellite navigation and Earth Observation, to help the disaster response community to better conduct their operations. The main users are Civil protection agencies, Emergency services, European Institutions, and Nongovernmental organisations.

Geoinformation & Navigation Service for Constrained Environments in Forestry

Improving the Efficiency in the Insurance Industry

VeriSpace will determine how space assets can be incorporated within the claims management process in the insurance industry. This means using EO datasets to assess extent and severity of the property damage or using GNSS and satellite communications to enable greater transfer of information between a central office and the loss adjustors in the field undertaking claims verification. The target users are Insurers and Loss Adjustors

Feasibility Study on joint EO and crowdsourced bathymetry

Feasibility study on optimising situational awareness in the Arctic through integrated space technologies

Based on Satellite communications system and GPS, ARCTICSAT intends to provide a set of targeted and customized services to improve the situational awareness in the Arctic region.

Electronic Offender Monitoring

The starting point for the study is an EM (Electronic Monitoring) system developed by Geosatis, the sole contractor of this FS. Based on Galileo, EGNOS, Space cartography and Satellite imagery data, the system provides a complete EM solution comprising hardware (GPS ankle bracelet, home-station, mobile charger), as well as a monitoring platform, including a component that displays the location of the offender and various alarms on a map.

Water Infrastructure Management Service Focusing on Remote Assets

Forest Loss Assessment through Remote Evaluation

Global Forestry assets are vulnerable to a range of perils, including wind and fire. Being physically extensive and often located in remote areas, forestry presents challenges to insurance procedures including accurate risk pricing and efficient claims settlement in the event of losses. Based on EO and GNSS data, FLARE has been developed to address these limitations in property, risk and loss assessment.

Historic and Ancients Monument Management Service

Loss management  in the Insurance Industry

The service concept focuses on the loss detection and loss estimation in forest areas after storm events or forest fires. The targeted user communities are insurance companies working in thematic domains that are appropriate for satellite-based claim assessment. The space assets used in the project are earth observation and satellite navigation (GNSS).
