Workshop participants proposed short- and long-range platforms could be tested at established field sites to determine the most effective combinations of sensor and platform. One scenario
includes the use of long-range platforms launched from land and traveling thousands of kilometers at relatively high speeds surveying large areas to confirm zones of likely high DFG density identified by indirect detection. Subsequently,or ideally concurrently, short-range platforms, deployed from a vessel would locate individual pieces of DFG for removal. The design and choice of systems will ultimately depend upon specific mission goals
