As part of the European IRA-MAR project, line of activity 5 is dedicated to studies for the integrated response to emergencies at sea resulting from pollution, through the use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS, Drones).

Within the week dedicated to the various tests, which runs from 2nd to 6th October, the coordinators have planned a meeting on the afternoon of 3rd October to present the activities to the invited observers, then dedicating the morning of 4th October to the start of the first of the planned tests.
