Through these projects the USRL team has gained valuable experience (more than 400 flight hours) in actual UAS operations along with system development, integration and payload data handling. Flights have been performed in remote and urban environments up to an altitude of 3.5 Km above ground level (AGL) with their mission mainly focused on providing high-quality observations of atmospheric pollutants and other parameters relevant to air-quality and climate change.Such accumulated technical expertise \u2013 specialized on UASs \u2013 is rarely available in research institutions and objectively represents a major asset for the rapid development of this infrastructure and its competitiveness in various research and commercial applications. In addition, the USRL team is actively supporting the Science and Technology in Archaeology and Culture Research Center (STARC) of the Cyprus Institute in research activities mainly focused in 3D reconstruction of archaeological sites.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2138&#8243;
