Development and deployment of innovative sensors using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) for non-contact and non-contact measurement of the snow profile Phase 4 - pilot phase and validation of the measurements in the field

This project includes a pilot study with several sensors developed in preliminary projects using UAV/UAS for contactless and non-contact recording of snow data. This method allows interference-free measurement of temperature, humidity, pressure and movement in avalanche slopes. The sensors are deployed in a test field in open terrain using UAV/UAS. A sensor network consisting of several sensor measurement boxes will be set up at targeted test locations. Regular data collection takes place via a mobile base station which is stationary or mobile on the UAV. Furthermore, a concept is being developed as to how avalanche commissions can use the data to assess local avalanche slopes.
