The "2nd Review" (System Requirements Analysis) phase was completed within the scope of the Project for the Dissemination of Precision Agriculture and Sustainable Practices in the GAP Region (HASSAS).

Therefore, on January 25, 2016, a meeting was held at TÜBİTAK UZAY with a wide participation. The meeting was attended by Sadrettin Karahocagil, President of GAP Regional Development Administration, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Lokman Kuzu, Director of TÜBİTAK UZAY Technologies Research Institute, Muhammed Adak, Deputy Director of GAP Regional Development Administration, Dr. Erdal YILMAZ and Aytekin Çakır, Deputy Directors of TÜBİTAK UZAY Technologies Research Institute.

During the meeting, the interim outputs of the project on the use of images from electro-optical and SAR satellites, especially Göktürk-2, our first high-resolution national satellite, in the classification of agricultural areas and precision agriculture applications were presented. It was seen that the envisaged Phase 2 applications were successfully realized.

Within the scope of the project, precision agriculture practices will be developed by analyzing agricultural areas with images taken from satellites and aerial platforms. A detailed analysis of the crops grown in the GAP region will be carried out using multispectral satellite imagery and hyperspectral imagery from aerial platforms, especially from our national satellites RASAT and GÖKTÜRK-2. As a result of these analyses, the crop planted on agricultural lands, yield estimation, soil fertilizer needs, irrigation needs, and plant disease status will be determined.
