Activities in the Arctic region are= set to increase significantly in coming years, with the leading investment= potential coming from: the oil and gas sector seeking to exploit new reser= ves; commercial shipping in pursuit of shorter routes; polar tourism, seeki= ng to take increasing numbers of people further into the Arctic; fishing fl= eets, looking to exploit fish stocks around the emerging ice edge. = span>
Telespazio VEGA UK are leading the development of situational awareness s= ervices to help businesses in all these sectors operate responsibly and saf= ely in the remote, hostile and fragile Arctic.
The services include primarily sate= llite derived imagery Vessel Monitoring System from the Telespazio Group, s= atellite AIS (Automatic Identification System) provided by Canadian consort= ium member Exact Earth, and low bandwidth high fidelity image transfer syst= em from AnsuR, a Norwegian company.
Marine South East are providing mar= itime expertise and additional maritime data layers are provided by Stevens= on Astrosat and HR Wallingford.
Partners: Telespazio, e-geos, Ansur=
, Critical Software, Stevenson Astrosat, HR Wallingford
Status: Demostrator
The key innovative concepts are:
Integration of diverse geo-information layers to provide a better op= erational picture.
Construction of a relational geo-information database facilitating e= nvironmental baseline monitoring and automated hazard reporting.
Unique delivery of mission critical geo-information data over extrem= ely low bandwidths (i.e. Iridium) in the High North.
Enhanced operational effectiveness, safety and environmental protection = through the provision of a fast Integrated Situational Awareness Service us= ing space derived data and integrating it with other information sources an= d delivered through low bandwidth satellite communications rapidly and dire= ctly to the point of need. The user community being and not exclusive to, A= rctic oil and gas, shipping, tourism and fishing.
The Arctic IAP system presents a viable Arctic Integrated Situational Aw= areness Service building upon existing operational or semi-operational serv= ices provided by consortium members, and adding additional features believe= d to be of value to the user community that will help to differentiate and = ensure the success of the service.
The proof of concept system brings together the following elements:
Geo-information products (vessel / tracking products; ice edge indic= ation and ice movement assessment), hydrographic products and AIS assets.= p>
