Heterogeneous data gathering sensors:

Leveraging the existing Payload Management system that allows quick plug-and-play hardware reconfiguration, dedicated sensors (acoustic, GPS receivers, sonars, RGB and IR cameras, radars, antennas, etc.) will be selected to be installed on-board the UAVs, depending on the specific mission needs.

Raw sensor data is both stored and processed locally on-board UAVs and streamed to other drones or cloud servers when needed. Sensors will be classified according to their autonomy and will be used either for constant monitoring or “need to” intervention, annotated with the current position and UAV status information, where relevant (e.g. altitude, speed, etc.).
