Objective
Natural disasters - intended as hurricanes, landslides, fires, avalanches, flooding, earthquakes, industrial accidents, terroristic attacks, eruptions, pollution, etc… - have been seriously threatening the well-being of the global society. Over the past 50 years, more than 11,000 disasters have been attributed to weather, climate and water-related hazards, involving 2 million deaths.In this context Space assets and remotely piloted aircraft (drones) play a crucial role in emergency response and disaster management. First responders ask for a quick to deploy in-situ solution based on resilient and robust infrastructure to perform accurate mapping and extended surveillance for people and assets localisation.Accordingly, EUSATfinder is about demonstrating the effectiveness of a synergic use of three main European space programs, namely GOVSATCOM, Copernicus and Galileo in such critical situations. Three (3) GOVSATCOM resources will be used, namely ATHENA FIDUS Italina and French payload and VHTS Konnect from Eutelsat. Interfacing versus GOVSATCOM HUB will be also studied so that stakeholders may benefit of common pool of SATCOM resources (capacity and services) to face a situation crisis management.The purpose of the EUSATfinder is to provide an innovative integrated and scalable solution to support first responders in real-life during different operational phases and improving citizens wellbeing. In particular, in the tactical phase, EUSATfinder aims at improving the intervention capability and reducing the reaction time using shared capacities from different governmental and private satellite systems interoperable with terrestrial communication services.The above introduced objectives confer to the EUSATfinder project a worldwide dimension, having European public authorities, industries and research centres with the clear role to bring innovation and know-how to allow an effective crisis area management in emergency situations worldwide.
