PTHELI: Piston twin helicopters for territorial and environmental safeguarding

10th Cycle, 2014, ASP Cycle, ASP projects, Year

The need to monitor the territory, as can be seen from Regional, National and International requests, is strong and growing. The development of technologies for environmental monitoring and regional safety represents an important aspect for the management and control system. Fixed or rotary-wing aircraft are currently used in this role for monitoring coastlines and borders,
