US Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy

Policy signed by President Bush on April 25, 2003 Policy Goal:

Advance and protect US national security and foreign policy interests by: Maintaining the Nation’s leadership in remote sensing space

activities Sustaining and enhancing the US remote sensing industry

Synopsis of Policy directive to US Government: Rely to the maximum practical extent on US commercial remote sensing

space capabilities Focus Government systems on needs that are practically met

commercially Develop long-term sustainable relationship with industry Provide timely/responsive environment for licensing operations of

commercial remote sensing space systems Enable US industry to compete with foreign providers

Civil Implementation Background

Civil agencies were tasked to write an implementation plan

The implementation plan: Established a lead civil agency (USGS) Established interagency committees:

Senior Steering Committee (SSC) at policy level Implementation working group (IWG) at operational level

Designated agencies to share plan execution responsibilities and/or leverage capabilities where possible (USGS, NOAA, USDA, NGA, etc.)

Near Term Requirements

The policy specifically requires civil agencies to: “Determine which civil needs can be met by

commercial remote sensing space capabilities; and Communicate current and projected needs to the

commercial remote sensing space industry”


8

Attachment F

Requirements Process

Near-term requirements objective - characterize and quantify agency remote sensing data requirements from current systems for: Industry planning Civil budget planning Identification of procurement opportunities Leveraging resources to facilitate new orders

Long-term requirements objective – Characterize needs for future systems (NOAA)

Attachment F

Requirements Collection

Survey given to all civil agencies Asked to describe projects for FY 04-06

Area of interest, sensor, spectral characteristics, resolution, cloud cover, application (i.e. mapping, monitoring, science research, regulatory, crop survey, etc.)

257 requirements were submitted 60% of civil agencies reported


10

Attachment F

Geographic Focus Areas

The requirements process identified areas appearing to be exceptional in the number of times they were requested and/or their correspondence with a concentration of civil mission needs.

Further analysis identified key regions where commercial remote sensing data would be of immediate use… Alaska Great Lakes Coastal and Border Areas Emergency Response

Commercial Data Access

Add commercial satellite data to menu of USGS data/imagery holdings Landsats 1-5 & 7; Terra/ MODIS, ASTER; Aqua/MOVIS; NOAA/AVHRR;

SPOT historical scenes; declassified U.S. imagery; multitude of other DEM and other geospatial data sets

Draw on decades of all-source civil imagery procurement, management and distribution

Use experienced customer service to search, order, and redistribute data

Complete initial infrastructure enhancements by March 2005 USGS has coordinated large requirements/procurements:

USGS contracted for National 1-meter DOQ coverage (~$220M 1993-02)

Approximately 50% USGS funded, 50% reimbursable (Fed/State) USGS contracting for 1-ft imagery over US urban areas (~10M 2003-

2005)


13

Attachment F

Procurement

Contracts signed late in FY04 with: Space Imaging, Digital Globe, ORBIMAGE. The contracts: Complement family of USGS geospatial services/imagery

contracts Expand distribution rights including unrestricted and public

domain Provide optimum terms and conditions for civil needs Customer services staff steeped in civil applications

Over $1M purchased by agencies since August 2004 National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Foreign

Agriculture Service, Bureau of Land Management NPS largest collect; covering national parks in SE Alaska

Budget

• FY06 budget planning cycle was already well along

• SSC considered initiative ideas that pooled requirements around several key needs (Alaska, etc.)

• Internal agency review and approval processes were out of phase with the FY06 budget cycle

• Ideas will be reconsidered for potential addition to FY07 budget submissions


15

Attachment F

Civil/NGA Coordination

• Investigating options for replicating applicable ClearView data to populate CRSSP archive

• Define method of receiving new data updates

• Explore methods to compare unfunded requirements to NGA planned acquisitions

• Evaluating possible leverage of NGA infrastructure


16

Attachment F

Next Steps Continue to make use of requirements data:

Examine/consolidate requirements for procurement opportunities Examine requirements for potential initiatives Field test new requirements collection system Implement system in Jan FY05

Validate our FY04 data with industry actuals Update FY05-06 Addition of FY07 requirements

Synchronize requirements and budget processes Develop case studies that demonstrate satellite utility for major

national needs such as emergency response Expose more users to satellite data by populating highly visible,

user friendly civil archive Continue productive civil/NGA cooperation for commercial

remote sensing

Improving Short-term Requirements Process

Improvements slated: Implement web-based interface tool for data capture

and reporting Automate data input into controlled fields Automate analysis and GIS display tools Dynamic update of requirements

Clarify requirements scope Involve any additional agencies Send out new GIS specialist to help agencies submit

and validate requirements


19

Attachment F

Alaska

Alaska lags behind other states in completeness and currency of its base mapping

Most available data does not meet National Map Accuracy Standards

Its size, remoteness and capricious weather hampers conventional mapping

Alaska’s infrastructure is isolated and widely distributed

Key Alaska Needs

Critical targets .5 – 2.5 meter high resolution orthoimagery - core infrastructure 2.5 – 5.0 meter lower resolution orthoimagery – federal interest areas

Core infrastructure includes cities, towns, villages, roads, pipeline, ports and energy producing and development areas

Shared interest among multiple agencies and organizations for Alaska Data

Key areas of use include: Aviation Safety, Disaster Response, Homeland Security, Land Transfer, Public Safety, Environmental Research, Resource Assessment, Community & Economic Development


24

Attachment F

Great Lakes

Regional Needs:

Better Emergency Preparedness Imagery to enhance existing oil/toxic spill response mapping Minimize disaster losses / increase response timing / efficiencies

Improve Public Health Protect water intakes from threats Fewer beach closures

Enhance Ecological Protection / Restoration Monitor wetland changes caused by encroachment and invasives

Protect Endangered Species Sensitive near shore habitats
