Title: From Reality 2010 to Future Vision 2020


1
From Reality 2010 to Future Vision 2020
  • Ray A. Williamson, rwilliamson_at_swfound.org
  • Secure World Foundation

2
Outline
  • Vision 2020My vision for 10 years hence
  • Potential impediments
  • Positive trends
  • Reality 2010the reality and promise of
    spaceborne systems and other technologies
  • Situational awareness
  • The wider context
  • Secure World Foundation

3
Questions to Answer
  • Where would we like to be in 10 years?
  • Where could we be?
  • Are we making effective use of todays resources?
  • Are we integrating new technologies and
    methodologies into practice sufficiently quickly?
  • Are the supporting institutions moving with the
    technologies?
  • What impediments do we face in reaching the
    vision?

4
2020 Space and Air Resources
  • The use of remote sensing (space and air) is a
    routine and cost-effective means of support to
    disaster response and recovery
  • RS data are routinely and quickly georeferenced
    and analyzed resultant information delivered to
    first responders within 24 hours of collection
  • Satellite telecommunications are used to deliver
    information to response and recovery teams
    throughout the recovery process.

5
Vision 2020Situational Awareness
  • Response and recovery teams, in turn, use the
    latest in smart phones and other related devices
    to deliver information back to coordinating
    organizations.
  • This closes the information gap between space and
    aircraft and Earthbound response recovery
    teams
  • Updates the situation on the ground quickly with
    precise small scale geo-referenced data results
    to be compared to any new RS data provides
    initial ground-truth
  • Assists in maintaining safety of life, both for
    afflicted populations and for response and
    recovery teams

6
Vision 2020 Requirements
  • Vastly improved use of current and immediate
    future satellite and aircraft resources
  • Vastly improved geographical and temporal in-situ
    situational awareness
  • Vastly improved international organizational and
    institutional structures
  • Standard information formats
  • Organizations work together smoothly and
    routinely within and across national and
    institutional borders

7
The Opportunity Often Falls Short of Reality
  • Too often the benefits of geospatial data tools
    do not reach broadly enough, especially in
    developing countries
  • Failures often stem from uncoordinated government
    policies at different levels of government
  • Restrictive data policies
  • More training needed
  • More scientific, technical education needed
  • Most important, however, citizens need to become
    involved in their own future by using tools
    developed for them and also by them

8
Other Impediments to Progress
  • Institutional inertia
  • No clear pipeline for institutionalizing new
    methods
  • National security concerns
  • Some data sources off limits
  • Profusion of aid groups
  • Standards for data/information formats, types,
    etc?
  • Standard working methodologies?
  • Customs, immigration barriers

9
Positive Trends
  • Many more countries and groups becoming familiar
    with RS methods
  • Google Earth and Bing have made the information
    potential of RS data and concepts much more
    accessible to the average computer user than ever
    before
  • More countries are developing their own satellite
    systems
  • Many more organizations are using RS methods to
    address disaster response and recovery issues
  • Volunteer analysts willing to pitch in with
    analysis

11
Available Space Systems
  • Many more remote sensing resources than ever
    before
  • Many operating satellite systems internationally
  • Electro-optical
  • Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) (all weather
    coverage)
  • Constellations
  • Improved position, navigation and timing (PNT)
    systems
  • GPS
  • Galileo
  • GLONASS
  • Mobile satellite communications

12
Other Important Technologies
  • Airborne remote sensing
  • Electro-optical cameras vertical and side view
  • SAR (all weather coverage)
  • Lidar (Detailed surface topography)
  • Powerful analytic software (proprietary open
    source)
  • Image processing
  • GIS
  • Automated change detection
  • PNT capability embedded in many new mobile
    technologies
  • Phones, tablets, cameras

13
Highest Resolution Satellites
  • GeoEye, U.S. (commercial)
  • .5-m panchromatic and 1.65-meter multispectral
    resolution
  • Digital Globe, U.S. (commercial)
  • .5-m panchromatic and 1.84-m multispectral
    resolution
  • TerraSAR, Germany
  • Resolution 1 m, dual-use
  • Radarsat II, Canada
  • Resolution 1 m/ 3 m

14
Constellations
  • RapidEye, Germany (private)
  • Five 6.5 m multispectral EO satellites in
    constellation
  • Daily imagery across the globe
  • Cosmo-SkyMed, Italy
  • Four SAR satellites at maximum 1m resolution
  • Digital Globe (quasi-constellation)
  • Three satellites (all different resolutions
    other characteristics)

15
Situational Awareness
  • Response and recovery crews need better
    situational awareness
  • Understand where is the greatest need for
    assistence
  • Have a clear idea of the dangers they might face,
    from damaged structures , the environment, and
    from the local population
  • Need to be able to communicate that information
    back to assisting agencies

16
Community Remote Sensing Is
  • a new field that combines remote sensing with
    citizen science, social networks, and
    crowd-sourcing to enhance the data obtained from
    traditional sources.
  • It includes the collection, calibration,
    analysis, communication, or application of
    remotely sensed information by these community
    means.
  • IGARSS brochure for the 2010 IGARSS conference in
    Hawaii

17
Community Remote Sensing
  • Satellite remote sensing services tend to be
    delivered top-downwith experts developing
    services to meet a perceived need
  • CRS works in the other directionindividuals
    contributing data and adding valuable information
    to satellite or aerial data
  • CRS enhances the value of RS data to benefit the
    community
  • CRS works by involving the community, whether
    geographical or disciplinary, in the enhancement
    of information to benefit the community as a whole

The Wider Context
  • Disaster response and recovery fits into a much
    wider picture than presented here
  • To achieve the vision presented here will require
    operational improvements in many areas of human
    endeavor natural resource management and
    protection pollution reduction and control, etc.
  • My wider vision is a world where individuals and
    community groups have routine access to satellite
    and aerial data and use CRS methods to improve
    their own quality of life

Secure World Foundation
  • Secure World Foundation (SWF) is a private
    operating foundation dedicated to the secure and
    sustainable use of space for the benefit of Earth
    and all its peoples.

22
What does the Foundation do?
  • Engages with academics, policy makers, scientists
    and advocates in the space and international
    affairs communities to support steps that
    strengthen global space sustainability. 
  • Promotes the development of cooperative and
    effective uses of space for the protection of
    Earths environment and human security. 
  • Acts as a research body, convener and facilitator
    to advocate for key space security and other
    space related topics and to examine their
    influence on governance and international
    development.

23
Key Governance Focus Areas
  • Space sustainability
  • Protection of continued utility of space
    resources
  • Policy development in Emerging Space States
  • Human environmental security
  • Development and disaster assistance
  • Environmental change
  • Planetary threats
  • Mitigating the threat of collision from a
    Near-Earth Object (NEO) through the establishment
    of effective international governance for
    response
