BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

PWGSC

8PCW Industry Day


Welcome

• The Government of Canada is exploring options for a potential Canadian-led project, with potential international partners, to satisfy Arctic requirements in Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Earth Observation (EO) coverage of the Arctic, and Space Situational Awareness (SSA)

9PCW Industry Day


Welcome

• ‘’Polar Communications and Weather’’(PCW) will explore technical and business solutions

• This is not yet an approved Government Project

10PCW Industry Day


Background

• To establish a multi-mission polar satellite constellation with wide and narrowband communications capability and terrestrial and space weather detection capability to satisfy the requirements of National Defence (DND), the Whole of Government as well as military Allies

• Winter 2012, CSA, in partnership with Environment Canada and DND completed a Feasibility Study

11PCW Industry Day


Background

• DND, with other Departments, has launched an Option Analysis to:– identify a solution that would satisfy Canada’s

global communication needs

– Address the current gap in, and growing demand for, continuous and reliable 24/7 communications in the Arctic

• The information gathered will be used to establish a business case

12PCW Industry Day


RFI Objectives

• Inform industry of a proposed PCW Initiative

• Seek industry comments on the Business Requirements (BR), cost, risk and business models

• Based on this information and other considerations, Canada may decide to proceed with the project or not, and this decision may lead to a competitive procurement for project implementation

13PCW Industry Day


Industry Engagement

• Engaging in a meaningful dialogue regarding PCW

• Next Steps– One-on-One Meetings– RFI responses

– RFI Summary of the Feedback

14PCW Industry Day


Rules of Engagement

• Canada is committed to conduct a fair, open and transparent process

• Documentation will be published on GETS www.buyandsell.gc.ca/tenders

DND/CAF SATCOM Roadmap

• 2008 -2009 Strategic review of SATCOM requirements

• Highlights:– Growing demand for BLOS– Status quo unaffordable– Lack of assured protected– Lack of assured wideband– Lack of assured UHF– Interoperability issues – Deficient Arctic coverage

WEATHER(METEOROLOGY)

Environment Canada

22PCW Industry Day


• Growing need for operational weatherinformation

– increased marine and air traffic – civilian and military– support to economic development, services, sovereignty– operations, logistics, safety, regulation, science

• A rapidly changing environment– rapidly diminishing ice cover, amplified climate change– changing weather patterns, untested NWP models

• A gap in the global observation systems– sparse in-situ observing networks– limitations in GEO and LEO coverage – spatial, temporal

• Support to Canada’s Northern Strategy– public safety, economic development, environmental protection

WeatherMotivation

23PCW Industry Day


• Applications– Weather forecasting –nowcasting, tropospheric winds, NWP

– Environmental monitoring – air quality, volcanic ash, sea ice, surface

– Climate monitoring – surface, cloud, radiative properties - processes and climatologies

• Capabilities– ‘GEO-like’ continuous imaging of Arctic circumpolar region– ‘GEO-like’ spatial and temporal resolution – ‘next-generation’ meteorological imager – near-real time processing to L1c for delivery to Environment Canada– compatibility with GEO imagers as part of WMO Global Observing System

• end-to-end implications to achieve this class of performance

• Exclusion – L2+ processing, distribution, long-term preservation
