INITIAL TARGET APPLICATION: INFRASTRUCTURE MONITORING PIPELINE MONITORING Assess and manage threats around critical • infrastructure (e.g. pipelines) Activity-based intelligence • Pipeline health status monitoring • Change detection • Need high resolution data Metric Need high frequency of observation At least daily imaging Main current solution: use fleet of helicopters or vehicles Alternative solutions envisaged: Drones and satellites (see next slides for drawbacks) inputs received from 8 PROPRIETARY MATERIAL BELONGING TO ESA AND SKYFLOX MAY 2019
EXAMPLE OF CURRENT DRONE PERFORMANCE: IMAGING GERMAN PIPELINES DRONES HAVE LIMITED COVERAGE DUE TO LOW ALTITUDE AND SHORT FLIGHT TIMES • Single RPAS covers 1000KM Cover entire German pipeline per week ORCA Current RPAS pipeline infrastructure in Solution solution • Covering German Pipeline single day Infrastructure (35,000km) would take 9 months, or you need 245 drones & operators to map in single day • Serious regulatory issues to gain flight clearance German Pipeline Infrastructure (35,000 km) 9 PROPRIETARY MATERIAL BELONGING TO ESA AND SKYFLOX MAY 2019 OUTLINE
