UAS for monitoring oil and gas pipelines and mineral surveying
1. Feasibility study by Barnard Microsystems & Inmarsat, with Shell Global Solutions Projects & Technology.
2. Beyond line of sight operation where it might be irresponsible to use pilots, such as in areas of civil unrest.
3. Broadband satcoms downlink provides both telemetry and imaging.
4. Successful study has led to Demo project SURMON.

Small Aircraft Situational Awarenessfor emergency response (SASISA)
1. Enables first responders to use overhead surveillance during initial, most critical phase of response.
2. Done real-time by combining satellite & terrestrial systems.
3. Complies with established operational methods & financial limitations of civil public sector agencies.
4. Can also be used for routine monitoring of infrastructure.
5. Commercial off-the-shelf sensors fitted to small aircraft:
a. Infrared camera, high resolution optical camera.
6. Instant, two-way, broadband voice & data communications between aircraft & emergency centre.
7. Larger demonstration project now being planned.

ARTES 20 demo : Space-AIS for Blue Belt
The reception of reliable information on ships’ prior to their arrival at port helps Customs Authorities in their operations (anticipating ship arrivals, risk assessment, prioritisation of controls, etc).
The knowledge of ships’ actual routes (especially beyond the coastal region) is critical for the Customs Authorities to be reassured about which ships are operating on intra-EU trading routes, and may lead in the future to a reduction of the administrative burden for these ships.

EMSA Blue Belt pilot project
The aim of the EMSA Blue Belt pilot project is to
deliver notification reports with ships
information to maritime customs authorities of all
EU Member States.

ARTES 20 demo: Space-AIS for Blue Belt
EMSA Blue Belt project is using the short range coastal tracking system AIS, to provide ship identification and position information. Its coverage is limited to about 40 nautical miles from the coast.
AIS Automatic Identification System
The ARTES 20 project is extending this coverage by using satellite detection of AIS: AIS messages transmitted by ships are collected from space, allowing a continuous tracking of the ships with the possibility of worldwide coverage.
Space AIS data provided by the ARTES 20 project are combined with complementary information (ships static data, terrestrial AIS positions, etc) and sent in notification reports to Customs Authorities.ESA Unclassified: for Official Use

Users & their needs
1. Academic users2. Public Health (decision makers)3. Control agencies
- Critical & nuisance species- Where are they (mosquitoes, larvae, eggs), high resolution- When will eggs hatch & population peak- Cover a greater area with the same budget- Use less pesticides
Control agencies-EID Mediterranee (F)
-CAA (I)
-CMV (NL)
