Overview

Description

Building upon the results of the COLLARIS Network, this project aims to continue, expand and further develop the already established international network of crisis management and civil protection practitioners, research institutions and public administration interested in collecting and transferring knowledge, exchanging experiences, skills, good practices and information on operational procedures for the optimal use of drones in crisis management and rescue missions. 

To effectively stimulate a wider and more complex use of UAV/UAS, the project will: 1) facilitate sharing of lessons learnt from the adoption of innovative solutions and their absorption into operational practices; 2) support the development of skills, knowledge and competences among people implementing them; 3) deliver knowledge and recommendations supporting the development and implementation of systemic solutions which represent enablers for effective use of UAV/UAS, in particular related to air traffic management.

 Outputs of the project will include an Open Online Course providing an introduction to the use of UAV/UAS in emergency management, two virtual simulation training scenarios for incident commanders and the curriculum for the Course for Air Operation Coordinator, as well as several trials to demonstrate, experiment with, assess and validate different solutions and organisational arrangements for a variety of drone applications.
