Short/mid-range system for fisheries inspection & surveillance
Spain

Surveillance is a key asset in the fight against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and aerial surveillance is particularly effective.

The Spanish Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food can now rely on a short-to-medium-range system employing Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) to provide images and draft reports for their operations.

The M5D-Airfox RPAS, currently used by the Ministry, is powered by solar energy. This means its environmental impact is practically zero, as are its noise levels and carbon footprint.
