NSF PFI-AIR • Ecosystem for development and transfer of technology: • Technologists • Innovators • Industrialists • Entrepreneurs • Start-up Pioneers • Faculty • Students • Provides resources, mentors, industry advisors
First Industrial Investor: ALTA Systems • Invested $300K in the Ecosystem in October 2012 • Stakeholders, including emergency managers needing immediate very high-resolution imagery, pre and post disasters, will access ultra-high-resolution aerial imagery, mashed-up with thousands of other TerraFly datasets. • ALTA is an Autonomous Lighter Than Air imaging/sensing platform, powered by natural forces and information instead of machines. The system operates below cloud ceilings, transmitting tree-top, oblique, geo-referenced images at low angles, from low altitudes, and at low cost, making massive balloon deployment feasible.
