Challenge Description |
||||||||
|
What is not possible / not adequately addressed at present? |
||||||||
|
Need to Identify existing disturbed areas or cleared areas suitable for heliports, camps, and landing or drop zones in forested terrain. Need to identify suitable sites that minimise risks to crews, reduce environmental impact and adhere to helicopter safety standards. |
||||||||
|
What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
||||||||
|
Information is required to identify potential helipad locations on hill tops to minimize areas to be cleared and long-line and landing hazards. Safe approach must be possible. Camps should be established in areas that minimize exposure to hazards. |
||||||||
|
Thematic information requirements: |
Land cover Terrain information Topographic information |
|||||||
|
What do you currently do to address this challenge? How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
||||||||
|
LiDAR, weather station information, available topographic maps and archived satellite imagery plus local knowledge. |
||||||||
|
What kind of solutions do you envisage could address this challenge? |
||||||||
|
Bare earth digital terrain models equivalent to LiDAR. |
||||||||
|
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? Are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
||||||||
|
None |
