SUMMARY:WARA PS data collection week
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the WARA PS Data Collection Week 2026! \nThis year\, we are growing the event to include a larger part of our community to join us for data collections\, tests and innovation. As usual\, the schedule will be focused on your own activities\, with opportunities to network and get to know the community even better. \nOn site\, you will have access to areas around Gränsö Slott for tests and evaluations\, conference rooms for separate meetings as well as a dedicated spot for your team in one of the common areas. If you need any additional support\, such as integration or hardware\, please indicate so in the registration form below (to be posted). \nVinnova Drone Challenge \nNew for this year is the addition of the Vinnova Drone Challenge during the Data Collection Week on Thursday 28th\, hosted in collaboration with Combitech and Västervik Drone Science Park. The challenge consists of using two or more drones to monitor an area\, identify and track predefined priority objects moving on the ground. One drone should monitor the area from any height and identify new and existing objects\, while another drone at low altitude should follow the highest priority object and continuously indicate its exact position. New\, higher priority objects may appear during the test\, and the drones should cooperate to identify and track the most relevant object. The aim is to achieve the highest degree of autonomy possible.
