To define a UAV communication framework that provides higher coverage compared to current solutions both in stand-alone and complementary scenarios.
To research and develop state-of-the-art (SoA) technologies that allow an uninterrupted and autonomous aerial network operation without any human intervention.
To provide a thorough techno-economic analysis, proving that HERMES can be more profitable than other technological options that provide the same service.
The overall HERMES objective is therefore to unravel the intrinsic characteristics of aerial networks, to overcome the current limitations, and to showcase the advantages of aerial networks through a pioneer Proof-of-Concept implementation.
