User consultation
Dual-use European Security Infra Red Element (DESIRE) 2nd User Consultation
Dual-use European Security Infra Red Element (DESIRE)
The first Dual-use European Security Infra Red Element (DESIRE) workshop was organised by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Royal Military School of Belgium (RMS) at RMS premises in Brussels, Belgium on 01-02 October 2008. The event provided a forum to European Industry, Operational users, Defence analysts and Specialists to review the state of the art in science, applications and operational use of Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) space-borne assets for Defence and Security.
The programme and ESA presentations of the first DESIRE workshop are provided below:

The second workshop, organised by ESA, was held in Grottaferrata, Italy on October 8th 2009. It aimed at presenting and discussing the requirements of potential users of a dual-use high spatial and temperature resolution Thermal Infra-Red system. The event, organised around invited speeches, presented user requirements collected in the framework of ongoing ESA projects for volcanologic, industrial and urban applications.
The programme and presentations of the second DESIRE workshop, attended by 46 participants, are provided below:
