Through the ASDC, researchers will be able to access near-real-time and societally-relevant drone-derived information. To achieve this, we must transform already substantial drone data processing capabilities towards best-practice, automation and intelligent decision making. ASDC will deliver a nationally accessible ecosystem for drone-related research and innovation.

Objective 1

Establishing national best practice for drone data analytics, informed by research, industry and other public national applications.

Objective 2

Coalescing novel and bespoke drone data analysis capabilities through co-designing advanced tools and methods; creating scaleable cloud-native apps for societal use; and showcasing exemplar data processing pipelines for different sciences.

Objective 3

Accelerating widespread adoption of FAIR Principles for drone-acquired data from the point of capture.
