InfraSecurityChallenge

Our idea is a conceptual structure for emergency response drones. The problems we are solving are Inadequate warning/notification systems in emergency situations, Communication breakdowns, Inadequate evacuation planning, Limited access to emergency services, Lack of information on safe evacuation routes, Limited resources for search and rescue and Access issues for emergency responders. The way we intend to solve those problems is by providing innovative concept about constellation of drones that utilizes space data and services from Copernicus, Galileo and EGNOS.

The data, information and signals we intend to use are as mentioned above from Copernicus, Galileo and EGNOS. More precisely we would like to use topographic maps provided from Copernicus, positioning and timing provided by Galileo and EGNOS. The data from those services provide significant value to our idea by providing near-real-time information on natural disasters, highly accurate positioning and timing information. We also intend to use Galileo compatible receiver for direct link to the European GNSS service, which is critical for our idea.

 We are solving the third challenge – Protecting our critical infrastructure.
