  • 2007 – 2008 – development and testing of the project Multisensor Airborne Survey and Monitoring System in Emergency Situations and Environment Protection with the Faculty of Geodesy, Zagreb University; Faculty of Traffic Engineering, Zagreb University; and PASTOR Grupa d.d. The project was co-financed by the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports. The project focused on commercial and pre-commercial systems of civilian multisensor airborne reconnaissance and surveillance: (a) for the purpose of advancing reconnaissance of active forest fires from an unmanned aerial vehicle; (b) for hyper-spectral reconnaissance (helicopter, airplane) of the sea oil spills; for airborne hyper-spectral monitoring of open waters quality, for establishing vegetation condition along highways and fir forests health.

  • 2006 – testing of three demining machines (Bozena-5, ITEP project 3.2.33; MineWolf, 3.2.34 and MV-10, 3.2.35) was performed by HCR-CTRO and ITEP at Cerovac test site.
  • 2003 and 2005 – reliability testing of metal detectors in cooperation with German BAM (Federal Institute for Research and Testing of Materials)
  • 2002 – 2004 HCR-CTRO was a partner on the BIOSENS project at Skabrnja test site, together with SRSA and NPA. The aim of the project was to test a biosensor system for analysis of explosive vapors.
  • 2001 – 2004 – HCR-CTRO was a partner in a European Commission project FP5, IST-2000-25044 SMART (Space and Airborne Mine Area Reduction Tool) The aim of the project was to assist Mine Action Centers in area reduction on the basis of GIS and specific tools which facilitate interpreting by the operators. Using multispectral optical data and those obtained by SAR during its application in Croatia, as well as satellite data from the times before the armed conflict, this tool assists in detection of minefield indicators.
  • 2001 – 2003 – HCR-CTRO was a partner in a European Commission project FP5, IST-2000-25300 ARC (Airborne Minefield Area Reduction). The project included the use of an unmanned helicopter with remote sensing sensors mounted on it. The project combined advanced analysis of data obtained by multispectral and infrared camera and new data fusion techniques. An integrated information system, which includes advanced geographic information system (GIS) enabled fusion of data obtained by imaging, ground truth data and geographic information, with the aim of using it for planning future mine clearance activities.
