Autonomous long-endurance fixed-wing aerial vehicles will become a powerful tool for gathering high-quality data for large-scale environment monitoring applications. This will create more robust, complete and reliable databases, essential for hazard mapping and mitigation measure planning.
Research
To avoid shortages of critical components for LiDAR systems, any government must ensure a reliable supply chain, preventing shortages of essential inputs for these systems, such as rare minerals, rare earth elements or ores.
