SkyfloX has partnered up with the Greek SME Cloud Signals in the HERMES-Airlink project, Unleash Your Personal Messenger in the Skies with 5G in-flight. Focusing on in-flight 5g connectivity, SkyfloX will provide its expertise regarding aviation/certification aspects of such a proposed system.

SkyfloX has successfully closed the ESA project DOCS-2. In DOCS-2, the concept ORCA (Optical and Rf Constellation on Airplanes), aiming to use of commercial transport airplanes as platforms to carry EO payloads and the resulting capabilities has been evaluated in detail and its technical and business interest was confirmed.  ORCA is a ‘marriage’ between [...]

The IOCCG includes the research done by SkyfloX in cooperation with with Plymouth Marine Laboratory for marine litter monitoring as part of their Task Force on Remote Sensing of Marine Litter & Debris page.

Background Project AIR-SOS: Airborne & satellite observation strategies for marine litter monitoring Collecting Multispectral data from floating debris using a seaplane over the Elbe River coastal waters to validate current algorithms and methodologies Marine Litter is a global issue and can be found in all the seas from the equator to the poles, and [...]

SkyfloX and partners, Plymouth Marine laboratory and Aufwind, have performed the first data acquisition flights over the coastal waters of the Elbe River using a seaplane carrying a multispectral sensor. The SkyfloX team headed to the the airplane hangar, where the sensor was integrated into the wing of a LAKE Buccaneer, along with completion [...]

SkyfloX was awarded the European Commission Seal of Excellence for its proposal to use ORCA for early forest fire detection (project EUFOS). Forest fires are a large and worsening problem worldwide. In Europe, 2019 saw three times more wildfires than the average over the past decade (Euronews). Hundreds of lives were lost, with economic [...]

AIS (Automatic Identification System) is a system that transmits a ship's position, to avoid collisions. This data is also widely used to create a maritime awareness picture, using this data to, for example, predict when a vessel is due to arrive in port. There however exist significant AIS data gaps, so called “white spots”, [...]
