CopKa

CopKa demonstrates how a controllable UAV equipped with a video camera can assist firefighters in search and rescue scenarios over a GEO Ka-band satellite communication relay. The aim of this project is to provide firefighters located at an emergency center with an intuitive tool that allows a fast and risk free evaluation of a situation of danger and to promptly initiate supporting measures.
