Innovations and Capacity building in Agricultural Environmental and Rural Uav Services - ICAERUS

ICAERUS提出了一种“应用导向”的方法，通过选择五（5）种具体的无人机应用，探索无人机在农业生产、林业和农村社区的多用途应用潜力。选定的无人机应用代表了欧洲最重要的部门和社会无人机使用目的，涵盖了复杂的欧洲农村景观中相互关联的多种应用。ICAERUS的愿景是探索机会，并对无人机作为多用途车辆在欧盟农业，林业和农村地区的潜力和影响提供更完整和相互关联的说明。其目的是通过应用展示和支持无人机的有效，高效和安全部署，并确定与其使用相关的风险和附加值。ICAERUS将从无人机生态系统的当前最先进水平“起飞”，通过推进现有的软件技术、平台组件和无人机知识，开发无人机的潜力，加强降低风险的能力，实现更明智的决策，提高农业、林业和农村地区的可持续性表现和竞争力。这将在两个方向上展示：代表“天空之眼”的基本应用，使用无人机作为光学观察和记录的定位系统，以及“空中之手”应用，用于喷洒和货物交付。ICAERUS计划通过研究、技术优化、演示和教育来扩大规模，为欧盟无人机服务市场创造一个高效、可信和安全的有利环境，以实现欧盟的脱碳、数字化和弹性目标。ICAERUS由一个平衡的、多参与者的、跨部门的和经验丰富的联盟组成，包括研究机构、中小企业技术提供者、协会和非营利组织。

ICAERUS proposes an “application-oriented” approach, through the selection of five (5) specific drone applications, to explore the multi-purpose application potential of drones in agricultural production, forestry and rural communities. The selected drone applications represent the most important sectoral and societal drone usage purposes in Europe and cover multiple applications that are interconnected within the complex rural European landscape. The ICAERUS vision is to explore opportunities and provide a more complete and interconnected account of the potential and impact of drones as multi-purpose vehicles in EU agriculture, forestry and rural areas. The aim is to showcase and support, through application, the effective, efficient and safe deployment of drones as well as, identify the risks and added values associated with their use. “Taking off” from the current state-of-the-art in the drone ecosystem, ICAERUS will “rise up” by advancing existing software technology, platform components and knowledge in regard to drones, to exploit the potential of drones and strengthen capacities to reduce their risks, achieve better informed decision-making, enhance sustainability performance and competitiveness in agriculture, forestry and rural areas. This will be showcased in two directions: fundamental applications representing an “eye-in-the-sky”, using the drone as a positioning system for optical observation and recording, and a “hand-in-the-sky” applications, for spraying and goods delivery. ICAERUS plans to scale-up through research, technology optimisation, demonstration and education about dronesto create an efficient, trusted and safe enabling environment for the EU drone services market to achieve the EU’s decarbonisation, digitalisation and resilience ambitions. ICAERUS consists of a balanced, multi-actor, crosssectoral and well-experienced consortium, including research organisations, SME technology providers, associations and non-profit organisations.
