Abstract :
The RAVEN (remote aerial vehicle for environment-monitoring) project is to develop a ground-based mission management system and airborne surveillance payloads for effective operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Canada´s unique and harsh coastal environment. Research efforts focus on new, cost-effective technologies for commercial maritime intelligence surveillance reconnaissance (TSR) missions. This project contributes directly to environmental protection and to national safety, security and sovereignty through increased and innovative monitoring capacity of both domestic and foreign activities in Canadian coastal waters
