DAC's role

DAC is responsible for enhancing autonomous forestry forwarders by developing software for signal processing and ground-based radar. This includes building a ground sensor for UC5, using ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for detailed mapping of ground conditions, and deploying machine learning for real-time data analysis. The project aims to deliver integrated radar components for a complete forestry forwarder system.
