ABOUT
The SAT2Rescue project aims to strengthen the use of satellite communication by government institutions and nongovernmental organizations, in particular in the areas of response to natural and man-made disasters, optimization of emergency services activities, and telemedicine in humanitarian aid. Infrastructure and services under the GOVSATCOM initiative will be used.
Usage scenarios will be defined, including: mountain and sea rescue and rescue operations in urbanized areas after disasters.
Application software will be developed for rescue operations management centers, providing a situational picture of the operation, integrating geoinformation and weather data, image data from the Copernicus system, and geotag data collected via the Galileo system. The system will be demonstrated according to usage scenarios.
