Drones for environmental protection, videos of SNPA test

In recent months, several joint test of ISPRA and Arpa/Appa personnel have been held on the use of drones in the field of environmental protection.

The use of remotely piloted aircraft systems for environmental monitoring is an already widespread reality within the National Environmental Protection System. In this context, work is being done to standardize the operating procedures, with the aim of defining a common standard, also through the development of common guidelines for the National Environmental Protection System.

A series of videos on the SNPA YouTube channel briefly illustrates the activities, objectives and possible future developments of the use of these technologies in the field of environmental monitoring in general, monitoring of air quality, river morphology and coastal dunes.
