“…However, in several works, we can notice the use of reflex and mirrorless cameras, normally used in amateur and professional photo shoots. Increasing investments are expected in the development of parallel technologies and specific sensors for remote sensing in agriculture [ 102 ]. From this literature review, it emerged that most of the studies had the analysis of space–time variability within the vineyards as their main objective.…”

New technologies for management, monitoring, and control of spatio-temporal crop variability in precision viticulture scenarios are numerous. Remote sensing relies on sensors able to provide useful data for the improvement of management efficiency and the optimization of inputs. unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are the newest and most versatile tools, characterized by high precision and accuracy, flexibility, and low operating costs. The work aims at providing a complete overview of the application of UASs in precision viticulture, focusing on the different application purposes, the applied equipment, the potential of technologies combined with UASs for identifying vineyards’ variability. The review discusses the potential of UASs in viticulture by distinguishing five areas of application: rows segmentation and crop features detection techniques; vineyard variability monitoring; estimation of row area and volume; disease detection; vigor and prescription maps creation. Technological innovation and low purchase costs make UASs the core tools for decision support in the customary use by winegrowers. The ability of the systems to respond to the current demands for the acquisition of digital technologies in agricultural fields makes UASs a candidate to play an increasingly important role in future scenarios of viticulture application.

Nowadays, safety and cybersecurity are some of the most important issues involving the development of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) operations. For safety, the lawmakers and aviation authorities have a lot of efforts to establish an adequate safety level for UAS operations within the current airspace system. One of them is the Specific Operation Risk Assessment (SORA) methodology developed by Joint Authorities for Rulemaking on Unmanned Aircraft System (JARUS). This methodology provides a guide to conduct risk assessments for UAS operations under the Specific Category. However, the methodology supports only some problems related to safety. In this paper, we introduce our approach to extend the SORA methodology toward cybersecurity. We illustrate this approach by extending the methodology to cover the privacy problem -an aspect related to cybersecurity. Besides that, we also introduce our supporting tool in the form of a web application that helps users conduct automatic risk assessments.

Rapid technological developments in autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV or drones) and an evolving legislation may soon open the way for their large-scale implementation in the last mile delivery of products. The use of drones could drastically decrease labour costs and has been hyped as a potential disruptor to the parcel delivery industry. Online retailers and delivery companies such as Amazon, are already filing up patents for the development of multi-level fulfilment centres for unmanned aerial vehicles or "drone-beehives" that would allow the deployment of this technology within built environment. A substantial amount of research has been carried out in the last years on the potential use of drones for parcel delivery, principally in the area of logistic optimisation. However, little is known about the potential market and economic viability of such services in Europe. This paper presents a modelling framework using EU-wide high-resolution population and land-use data to estimate the potential optimal location of drone-beehives based on economic viability criterion. It estimates the potential number of EU28 citizens that could potentially benefit from last mile-drone delivery services under four scenarios. The performed analyses indicates that under the scenario considered as the most technologically realistic, up to 7% of EU citizens could get access to such services. When considering technological improvements scenarios, the share reaches 30%. Furthermore, results suggest that due to the differences in population and land-use patterns in the different Member States, the potential drone coverage across Europe could be very heterogeneous, with the UK, Germany, Italy and France appearing as the most likely countries where drone-beehives may have the most efficient development.
