Tiivistelmä
Cross-Border Photonics Initiative project was funded by the South-East Finland-Russia ENPI CBC funding programme 007-2013, with an economic development theme. The main objectives were knowledge and technology transfer, institutional cooperation and cooperation networks and scientific cooperation. The project aimed to foster photonics technologies for economic growth and to increase cross-border collaboration between universities and photonics companies. Project coordinator was ITMO University from Russia and the project partners were Optogan from Russia, Aalto University and Lappeenranta University of Technology. The main objectives of Laurea University of Applied Sciences were to develop and test systems of UAV platforms and sensors for automated border surveillance, and to implement innovative border surveillance systems.
This report discusses Laurea UAS’ main contribution to Cross-Border Photonics Initiative project. This report describes how, by combining drones with photonics, new technology can be applied in border surveillance. The report describes the planning of the demonstration flights, including choosing the area and equipment, explaining the permit process and creating scenarios. The other chapters explain how the demonstrations were executed, how they went, what was learned and how the demonstrations were altered with the gained information in the scenario. In addition, the last chapters analyze the results, the research findings and further research proposals.
