| Objectives | Introduction:
The High Altitude Aerial Surveillance (HAAS) NIA project concluded in 2016 that no currently available survey system could meet the safety, technological, economic challenge of improving on the current helicopter patrol system against third party interference. However the project also concluded that technology in fields such as imaging, mapping, data processing and analysis, artificial intelligence, UAVs and satellites is moving very fast and any successor system would need to harness and combine a wide range of these technologies to be viable. For further information see High Altitude Aerial Surveillance (HAAS) NIA project NIA_NGGT0064.
Objectives: To deliver ongoing monitoring and assessment of the technological maturity and solution cost for selected technologies to inform the development of a future successor third party interference monitoring and reporting solution. Monitor progress in each selected field for the duration of the project. Deliver a 6 monthly summary and 12 monthly detailed report of developments in each selected field and an assessment of technological maturity and cost of solution against our requirements. Recommend how and when to develop a HAAS-successor solution. |

| Abstract | This project will deliver ongoing monitoring of selected technology fields and the periodic reassessment of technological maturity against our requirements as defined in TD1 and the HSE safety case and make recommendations about how and when to best develop a successor solution to the current solution for monitoring of third party interference to the NTS. The research will be undertaken through a combination of a literature review, discussions with SAR and other equipment manufacturers, discussions with leading academics and other industry experts and attendance at leading technology shows and conferences.
