📋 Tender Overview
May 15 Martynas Rimgaila, a representative of the National Paying Agency (NPA), participated in the discussion of the international conference "Vilnius Space Days 2024", organized by the Innovation Agency, where the possibilities and benefits of applying earth observation data to the public sector were discussed.
For the second year, a conference is organized that reviews trends in the space sector, innovations and research, as well as attention is paid to international cooperation, martynas Rimgaila, adviser of the Direct Support Control Division of the NPA, participated in the discussion on the topic "Earth Observation Opportunities for Public Sector". He, together with other participants in the discussion, i.e. Gedu Vaitkumi, head of UAB Geomatrix, Erik Berontas, head of UAB Coetus, and Marco Fuchs, head of OHB SE, discussed the possibilities and benefits of using satellite Earth observation data for the public sector.
The NFC is one of the successful examples of how satellite data can be used to create services that help to carry out public sector activities more efficiently and optimally, save finances and human resources.
Using the satellite data of the EU's Copernicus programme, the NPA has developed the Automatic Field Continuous Monitoring System (ALNSIS), which is able to remotely identify 19 main crops grown in Lithuania, land cover, fallow land cultivation, whether grasslands have been mowed, plowed and other cases. This makes it possible to reduce not only the number of on-the-spot checks, but also the number of irregularities, since as the deadlines for commitments approach, the NFC warns farmers about activities that have not yet been carried out.
The participants of the discussion also encourage other representatives of the public sector to apply satellite Earth observation data in their activities and to develop e-services that would help to carry out operations more efficiently and save resources.
