The RESIST Project aims to enhance the resilience of large-scale, interconnected critical infrastructures through the integration of the Skydweller platform, an ultra-persistent, sustainable, and versatile aerial system equipped with high-performance sensors, with Copernicus satellite imagery, including both optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data. This integrated solution is designed to support critical infrastructure operators and crisis management authorities across European territories throughout the entire disaster management cycle, including preparedness, response, and recovery phases.
RESIST will deliver multi-mission operational capabilities, enabling both persistent and ad hoc monitoring of critical infrastructures, providing actionable data to support the updating of emergency plans, and strengthening infrastructure protection and security measures. Furthermore, the project will enhance coordination and response capacities in the event of disasters and will contribute to the implementation of climate adaptation strategies and resilience planning at European, national, and regional levels, including, where applicable, neighbouring countries.
