Quick decision context for procurement relevance and maturity.
Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU), the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, awarded a contract valued at 2,691,000 EUR for a drone equipped with a hyperspectral camera. This acquisition enhances SLU's Forest Damage Centre capabilities with Sweden's first co-aligned VNIR-SWIR-LiDAR hyperspectral drone system, enabling advanced, early detection of forest stress through synchronized spectral, water-content, and 3D structural measurements in boreal and temperate forests. The system supports collaborative research in ecology, pathology, and forest management, co-funded by foundations like Kempe and Formas.
