“…Some indicative examples can be identified e.g. in the area of maritime monitoring [3] [4], land border surveillance [5] and wildfire monitoring [6]. However, despite the specific requirements of each specific application domain, almost all of these platforms share some common aspects such as:…”

Contemporary satellite technologies in the fields of Earth Observation (EO), communications and navigation, augmented with terrestrial sensor networks, provide an invaluable toolbox for the development and deployment of integrated platforms for wide-area surveillance. The applicable use cases span across a wide range of application domains, from maritime and sea border surveillance to agricultural and environmental monitoring. This paper presents the design and development of a multi-mission service platform based on a generic core, able to aggregate data collected from multiple sensors and route monitoring information among processing modules and decision support systems. As the central point of a modular architecture, this service platform can be easily and quickly customized to serve multiple heterogeneous application domains. Its application for maritime surveillance is presented as an indicative use case.

“…In this attempt, most results remain at laboratory test level, being rather hazardous to find implementations validated in an actual deployment scenario. In fact, focusing on the implementation and test of complete full-custom WSN dedicated to monitoring environmental parameters, only a few solutions can be found in the open literature [5][6][7][8][9]. However, the use of sophisticated and powerconsuming sensor devices, communication technologies, and protocols results in cost per node, energy requirements, transmit data rate, and required infrastructure which render these solutions unsuitable for battery-operated nodes deployed in natural areas [5][6][7].…”

In [5], IP video cameras are used for smoke and fire detection, which require high computational power, increasing the cost of both software and hardware; in [6], a Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) subnet is connected to a Global System Mobile (GSM) coordinator which communicates with a PC control center; in [7] a combination is proposed between ZigBee, Wi-Fi, and satellite communications.…”

The use of wireless sensor networks (WSN) for monitoring physical and chemical variables in large areas allows density and frequency measurements which have been unavailable to date in classical measurement systems. To fully take advantage of this technology in a particular application, besides an accurate design and selection of all the components involved in its operation, it is essential to dispose of reliable lifetime estimation prior to deployment. This paper presents an experimental approach to determine the actual lifetime of such battery-operated systems, making use of a custom WSN architecture, and for different batteries technologies. To render a reliable evaluation, the energy consumption of the sensor nodes under their different operation modes, in correlation with the battery characteristics and the voltage regulation system, is jointly considered. The result is a complete and practical lifetime model, whose appropriate performance has been validated in a real deployment scenario.

“…The proposed model combines terrestrial and space based infrastructures and sensors (SFEDONA, n.d.; Liolis et al, 2010). The terrestrial part is comprised of four general hierarchical levels: (Cunha et al, 2007;Da Silva Severino, 2008).…”

“…In that respect there are no realistic past data or previous operational experience with similar deployed architectures for fire prevention and monitoring. Another motivation is the recently completed Greek pilot project called: Satellite -based FirE DetectiON Automated System (SFEDONA) which was funded by ESA under ARTES -34 framework (SFEDONA, n.d.; Liolis et al, 2010). For our work we are using as a starting step the basic architectural concept of this project and we proceed further providing an analytical and coherent operational system enriched and extended with Earth Observation components as well as with First Responders critical operational communication sub-systems.…”
