5. FOCUS
A safer and smarter society
SELEX ES offers a series of advanced technologies for Civil Protection
and Crisis Management, mainly consisting in:
• Sensors and sensors network
• RPAS and micro RPAS for Surveillance and Monitoring
• Command and Control
• Simulators for training of personnel
• Technologies for smart cities
… a safer and smarter society

6. The approach
Dual Use
Interoperability
Civil and Defense
in a distributed network operating in
complex international envoironments
Multi task:
ENVIRONMENTAL SURVEY / ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
detection of Pollution of Sea surface / Forest Fire detection / Hydrogeological risk
SUPPORT TO HUMANITARIAN MISSIONS
MARITIME SURVEILLANCE
SEARCH AND RESCUE

MICRO RPAS are transportable systems of great
mobility, easily deployed particularly capable of:
• local surveillance

12. The solution: Hyperspectral sensor
Hyperspectral technology
(sensors, real time
processing, analysis SW) is
still one of the most promising
technique for Surveillance
and has many scientific
applications
Pollution
Geology
Vegetation

13. Hyperspectral: Fires Detection
Hot spots can be detected in low visibility conditions (smoke and vegetation)
Marina di Pisa (Tuscany)
SWIR “false color”
Hot-Spots can be detected
in visible channels without
false alarms thanks to the
Potassium (K) emission
(760 nm) where the
“flaming” phase occur.
Thermal Anomalies can be
detected in SWIR channels
also under vegetation
K-emission
permits
to
discriminate
between
“flaming” and “smoldering”
areas.

14. Hyperspectral: Burned Areas

15. Hyperspectral : Anomaly Detection & Identification

Submerged Targets:

16. Hyperspectral : Coast Erosion, Bathymetry
Arno River estuary
• Costal Erosion
• Underwated dune mapping
Equalization
• Underwater dune structure may be
easily determined
• Darker water means the zone is under
erosion

17. An FP7 Integration project: AF3
AF3: Advanced Forest Fire Fighting
An innovative solution to monitor and extinguish large forest fires.
