The PUC1 pilot demonstrations follow an iterative and progressive (“in crescendo”) approach to support the effective development and testing of technological components. This initiative involves implementing the use case in different countries and across multiple iterations.
Italy – First Iteration (June 2024, Thessaloniki)
The main goal of the first iteration of PUC1 in Italy was to demonstrate PERIVALLON platform capabilities involving the processing and analysis only of satellite images, mainly for identifying potential illegal waste disposal sites. The demonstration took place in hybrid format during the Plenary Meeting in Thessaloniki (Greece) on 11th June 2024.
Italy – Second Iteration (April 2025, Calvarina Base)
The second iteration of PUC1 in Italy focused on the detection and analysis of illegal waste disposals, including potential asbestos roofs and abandonments, in a semi-controlled environmental SAFE’s Calvarina ex-military base. The event, held on 3 April 2025, integrated both satellite and UAV imagery collection activities.
Italy – Third Iteration (September 2025, Lombardy)
The focus of the third iteration of PUC1 in Italy was the exploitation of real case datasets and scenarios in different areas of interest in Lombardy, Italy. It has been carried out at SAFE’s Calvarina base facility on 17 September 2025.
Greece – Second Iteration (September 2024, Fyli)
The second iteration of PUC1 was conducted in Fyli (Greece) on the 23rd and 24th of September 2024. During this iteration, the PERIVALLON technological solutions for satellite and UAV data acquisition and analysis were successfully demonstrated.
Sweden – Third Iteration (October 2024, Örebro)
PUC1 in Sweden was the third iteration of PUC1 and took place on October 12, 2024, and was preceded by data acquisition activities carried out in Spring 2024 through UAV surveys at the waste management facility "Pappersbruket" in Örebro municipality, Sweden.
Romania – Fourth Iteration
The fourth iteration of pilot demonstration of PUC1 in Romania aimed to detect and analyse illegal landfills, through the collection of 2D and 3D drone imageries. In addition, the pilot also included the processing and analysis of satellite images.
In total, 6 iterations have been successfully completed in relation to the PUC1 scenario, with an overall of 222 participants among Consortium partners, Advisory Board members, and external stakeholders. Following a progressive (“in crescendo”) approach, the iterations successfully demonstrated the PERIVALLON platform improvements from the first prototype delivery to the final version, outlining the relevance, the usability and the efficiency of using the PERIVALLON platform and the functionalities related to the PUC1.
