Past Experience:

Over the last 5 years, ALTUS LSA has successfully executed a variety of Research programs with UAS technology:

• EU FP 7 collaborative project ''SUNNY - Smart UNmanned aerial vehicle sensor Network for detection of border crossing and illegal entrY''
  
  The SUNNY project aims to develop system solutions capable of improving the effectiveness of the EU border monitoring compared to the legacy systems, whilst keeping the affordability and interoperability as key enabling factors. Via the integration of technologies developed across different initiatives, the SUNNY approach will deliver pre-processed information with meaningful decision support tools enabling the reduction of number and required level of expertise of border surveillance personnel.
  
  SUNNY main features beyond existing research projects:
  •  A two-tier intelligent heterogeneous UAV sensor network. Novel sensors and on-board processing generation, integrated on UAV system.
  • Exploitation and adaptation of emerging standard wireless technologies and architectures to the SUNNY scenarios.
• ALTUS LSA Tasks are:
  • Integration Work Package Leader for all sensors on vehicles.
  • Development, Integration, Testing and Servicing of Two Platforms.

• Hellenic-Israeli research and development program “FERMIS’’ UAV based solution - Fire Event Remote Management Information System.
  
  FERMIS -Fire Event Remote Management Information System- aims to fulfill the expectations and needs of the market for the next generation of Airborne sensors, by providing a complete set of tools and sensors that from one hand will improve current supported UAV features and will further expand them into "multi-sensing flying platforms".
  
  The main goal of FERMIS is to design, develop and demonstrate a comprehensive solution for early fire detection, prevention, monitoring, prediction and fire-fighting, by the use of advanced and integrated aerial sensing system coupled with innovative sensors and a cloud-based architecture software.
