• Start Date: 01/01/2015
• End Date: 31/12/2017
• Duration: 36 months
• Coordinator: M3 Systems Belgium
The MISTRALE project proposes to address soils moisture management in
agriculture as well as wetlands or flooded areas monitoring by using Global
Navigation Satellite Systems reflected signals (GNSS-R) as a powerful
technology for humidity or flooded mapping.
The detection by GNSS-R is known to be much more reliable than visible/NIR
imagery, and will be usable even under a cloud cover, during the night and
even under vegetation (bushes, grass, trees) when passive remote sensing is
not applicable. The main objective is to demonstrate a service chain in
different use cases: pilot projects will be carried out in soil humidity mapping
for agriculture (optimizing the water resource management), wetlands and
flooded areas (risk management, flood-prone areas, damages evaluation). In
order to meet the objectives, a GNSS-R receiver embedded into a small RPAS
(Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) will be developed and implemented into an
operational chain to provide the service.
The overarching aim of the MISTRALE project is to reach the
commercialisation of a service providing soil moisture maps. To achieve that,
MISTRALE will develop and demonstrate a prototype of GNSS Reflectometry
(GNSS-R) sensor embedded on a dedicated Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems
(RPAS) platform for measuring soil moisture using the GNSS reflected
signature.

Asia-Pacific. The creation of industrial partnerships will be stimulated
through a series of new activities, including workshops, industry
seminars, thematic events and round tables, both in Asia and in the EU.
Above and beyond its geographic reach in India, China, Taiwan, Korea
and Japan, GNSS.asia will now also aim to foster industrial cooperation
in a wider multi-GNSS territory, which includes Australia and a number
of selected countries in South-East Asia. In order to maximise the
project’s impact, the consortium works in close collaboration with
prominent Asian companies, industry associations and research
organisations. The GNSS.asia team will continue to assess market areas
of mutual interest, analyse the GNSS landscape in the target economies
and provide expert guidance for European companies searching for
business opportunities in Asia.
