Deployment areas and challenges

Group 1

What are the main civil applications?

• survaillance
• broadcasting
• inspection
• agricultural and habitat monitoring
• documentation
• incident sites for insurances

multi UAV?

• distributed view
• different views of a site
• weather measurements / weather forecast / local and global view
• different grid size measurements
• basic infrastructure distribute device
• drop devices somewhere
• cannot be accessed, hazardous environments, leakage of gas.

Very few existing applications?

• survaillance

Group 2

Group 2, Day 2

Group 3

What are the main non-military applications?

• inspection (e.g., photovoltaic systems, wind turbines)
