In polar region operations, drift ice positioning and tracking is useful for both scientific and safety reasons. Many sensors can be employed to generate detections of sea ice, such as satellite-carried Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and, recently, imagery equipment carried by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Satellite-carried SAR has the advantage of being able to cover large areas and provide consistent...
Communication in remote locations, specially in high-latitude regions, such as the Arctic, is challenged by the lack of infrastructures and by the limited availability of resources. However, these regions have high scientific importance and require efficient ways of transferring research data from different missions and deployed equipment. For this purpose, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used...
