Assessing a Semi-Autonomous Drone-in-a-Box System for Landslide Monitoring
Submitted: 01 December 2025 You are already at the latest version Commercial remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) are advancing rapidly, offering improved endurance, expanded sensor payloads, and increasingly sophisticated software capabilities. However, their operational efficiency remains limited by the need for on-site skilled human operators.

Development of a Novel Implementation of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System over 25 kg for Hyperspectral Payloads
3. Results Here, we present the results from the various tests that were carried out in order to assess the RPAS–HSI integration. 3.1. T30 Payload Integration 3.1.1. Vibration Test As shown in Figure 8, the overall root mean square (RMS) of the vibration level in the vertical (z) axis was 0.699 g (6.86 m/s2) on the RPAS platform (ACC-1) (Figure 8). On the gimbal arm (ACC-2), the vibration level was 0.245 g (2.4 m/s2), a reduction of 64.9%.
Assessment of UAS Photogrammetry and Planet Imagery for Monitoring Water Levels around Railway Tracks
2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Test Sites and Flight Plan Considerations Four test sites along the railway line between the cities of Ottawa and Brockville (ON, Canada) were selected for acquiring UAS and satellite data (Figure 1). These sites were selected after a preliminary field visit in March 2021 taking accessibility, airspace, and previous water related issues into consideration. The data collection took place between June and October 2021.

Estimating Peatland Water Table Depth and Net Ecosystem Exchange: A Comparison between Satellite and Airborne Imagery
Peatlands play a fundamental role in climate regulation through their long-term accumulation of atmospheric carbon. Despite their resilience, peatlands are vulnerable to climate change. Remote sensing offers the opportunity to better understand these ecosystems at large spatial scales through time. In this study, we estimated water table depth from a 6-year time sequence of airborne shortwave infrared (SWIR) hyperspectral imagery.
