Antecedentes

The workshop will explore the potential civilian applications of UASs for Rapid Mapping during humanitarian crises and complex emergencies. It will bring together researchers, companies and end-users from the EU and UN in particular to test and discuss the applications of various UASs.
 
The workshop will be comprised of three major activities: a data-aquisition phase during which the UASs will be showcased, a data post-processing phase, and a series of discussions during the application sessions.

The application sessions will explore relevant themes in the cutting-edge world of UASs, from user needs and R&D needs to legal aspects of UAS operations and urban search and rescue applications.
