The Arctic Integrated Situational Awareness Service (ISAS) Bergen, February 2015 Agenda – Project Outline – Overview of the Service – Proof of Concept Overview and Results – Situational Awareness Layers – Geo-ASIGN – Delivery over Low Bandwidths – Next steps 2 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 Arctic IAP – Improved Situational Awareness in the Arctic • European Space Agency (ESA) funded project – Integrated Applications Programme (IAP) – Currently a feasibility study • Delivery of Situational Awareness Information to Operators in Arctic Regions – Satellite Imagery and derived data, Ice mapping data, Vessel monitoring, Oil spill monitoring, Hydrographic data, Bathymetry data, – Capability to deliver via Satcoms over low bandwidths • Consortium of partners bringing a variety of expertise – Telespazio VEGA UK, e-GEOS, Marine South East, AnsuR, Stevenson Astrosat, HR Wallingford • Support from other unofficial project partners: − Iridium, Inmarsat, exactEarth, TeamSurv 3 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION LAYERS Low Bandwidth • Vessel Monitoring • Oil Slick Detection & Monitoring • Strategic & Tactical Ice Monitoring • Port monitoring • Hydrographic layers • Infrastructure monitoring • Bathymetric layers 4 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015201 Arctic IAP Feasibility - Work Packages and Timescale User & Stakeholder Analysis and Requirements Specification of Roadmap & Demonstration Integrated Proof of Concept Recommendations Project Solution/Services State of the Art Technology Review Economic/ Non-Economic Viability 12 Months KO Q3 2015 5 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 PoC Overview • Objective: “To validate the most critical service and system elements… …then engage potential users and gather feedback on results” • Definition & Prototyping stage – Tailor the offer to stakeholder requirements – Identify the key service elements to be tested: 1. Situational awareness information layers 2. Delivery over low bandwidth – Pick scenario(s) and areas to trial concept • Evaluation stage – Deliverables (datasets) on offer are what is required – Interface usability for operations • Define Roadmap – Low-bandwidth transfer capabilities and relevance – User business case justification 6 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 PoC Operational Scenarios • Scenario 1, Red Box • Baffin Bay License Area • Operations with oil release incident. • Scenario 2, Green Box • North Eastern License Area • Seismic survey operation • Scenario 3, Blue Box • Approaches to Ilulissat Harbour • Port monitoring operation Overlay Key: Purple LEO Satcoms only Orange Issues with GEO Satcoms Green GEO Satcoms 7 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 PoC Operational Scenario Stricken vessel with an oil leakage event – Baffin Bay Actors Behaviours Dangers Solutions Stricken vessel Response Collisions Oil slick detection Support vessels coordination Icebergs and monitoring Supply vessels Iceberg management Visibility Vessel monitoring Response vessels Oil spill response Weather Ice monitoring (Aircraft) Depth (iceberg draft) Hydrography Increased vessel Met data traffic Bathymetry 8 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 9 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 10 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 11 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 12 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 13 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 14 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 Geo-ASIGN - Delivery Over Low Bandwidths Primary Objective Prove operational capability of low bandwidth delivery over satellite communications network, using Geo-ASIGN software Content – The need to use satcoms with its limitations – Iridium Pilot test kit, using OpenPort 128 – The functionality of Geo-ASIGN – Results and conclusions of tests – Feedback 15 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 Challenges Using Satcoms • Due to the reduced bandwidth, the delivery speed is normally prohibitive when trying to send large data • Data transfer costs typically $3 - $12 per MB. • Managing bandwidth and connectivity issues is essential Geo-ASIGN has been tested over Inmarsat, Iridium and Thuraya. 16 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 Iridium Pilot System • Antennae mounted to ship/platform linked to pc via modem • For test purposes the Antennae was mounted to Telespazio office roof in Luton • Iridium OpenPort has different plans available, typically: 32Kbps, 64Kbps and 128Kbps 17 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 How Geo-ASIGN operates over low bandwidth 1. List of images available for download 2. Download a preview of relevant image 3. Select a region for higher resolution display • Other internet traffic may be blocked • Following signal loss, the intelligence to reconnect and continue data transmission • Downloaded data are geo-tagged and can be exported to 3rd party GIS systems for further use 18 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 EO Image Delivery • Image: Sentinel-1A Preview • Original file size: 300MB • Transfer Time: 3.5 seconds • Total file transferred: 8 Kilobytes • Image width: 400km, Res: 650m • Image: Sentinel-1A ROI1 • Original file size: 300MB • Transfer Time: 212 seconds • Total file transferred: 1140 Kilobytes • Image width: 112km, Res: 60m • Image: Sentinel-1A ROI2 • Original file size: 300MB • Transfer Time: 74 seconds • Total file transferred: 251 Kilobytes • Image width: 29km, Res 31m 19 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 Feedback & Invitation to be involved in next steps The Proof of concept Web Map storyboard is accessible here: http://bit.ly/1xJ9gdz Your feedback is of great value to us and you can provide it via the following online questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BERGENIAP The project is now defining its RoadMap for the future, planning for a demonstration project for the fledgling service. If you would like to be involved please let us know in person or via the questionnaire! 27 © Telespazio VEGA UK Ltd. 2015 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION .
