General description |
Overview of Challenge |
||||
|
5 |
What is the nature of the challenge? (What is not adequately addressed at present?) |
If you can't get government "on-side", then obtaining basemaps of an area can be very complicated, especially when aerial surveys are refused etc… |
||||
|
6 |
Thematic information requirements |
1. Obtain detailed topographic information, 2. Obtain detailed terrain characterisation, 3. Obtain detailed vegetation information, 5. Identify location and condition of transport infrastructure, 14. Obtain detailed imagery of the surface, |
||||
|
7 |
Nature of the challenge - What effect does this challenge have on operations? |
Delay in developing / exploration activity |
||||
|
8 |
What do you currently do to address this challenge?/ How is this challenge conventionally addressed? |
Aerial surveys, but these are often difficult to deploy if political will is not there. |
||||
|
9 |
What kind of solution do you envisage could address this challenge? |
Imagery which can navigate around local bureaucracy would be useful |
||||
|
10 |
What is your view on the capability of technology to meet this need? – are you currently using EO tech? If not, why not? |
