• Identifying User Communities and their Needs

• Identifying Space Capabilities

• Informing and Educating Potential Users

• Influencing Decision Makers and Facilitating Cooperation

• Fostering and Organizing User Demand (Capacity Building)

• Paving the way for partnership agreements



8

1. Prerequisite to achieving a successful IAP programme is a successful awareness programme!

2. Realizing the goals for IAP awareness will be based on:

a. Expert opinion from the IAP Advisory Committee (IAPAC)

b. A web portal gateway to IAP

c. A network of ambassador platforms across Europe

d. Forums, Call for ideas, thematic Workshops, etc..



9

1.The IAPAC will provide independent cross-disciplinary and multi-

dimensional expert opinions and justified recommendations regarding

a.Which broad areas of interest have the greatest potential for the

development of IAP

b.How this potential may best be realised

c. What are the perspectives for end-users

d.How best to influence relevant key Decision Makers, and who to

influence?

2.The direction of the IAP Awareness programme and the resulting

thematic roadmap will thus be based on the advice of the IAPAC

3.The IAPAC will thus also provide legitimacy for the path taken by IAP

and more in general for all the TIA application activities



10

1. A web portal serves as a “gateway” to Integrated Applications.

2. The goals of this portal will be:

a. Serve as a ‘notice board’ for IAP calls, ITTs, news stories, events,

workshops

b.Repository of documentation and information / education tool for

users

c. Promotional tool for IAP activities (workplan, feasibility studies,

demo projects, etc.)

d.Meeting point for special interest groups and network of

ambassador platforms

e. Additional services, such as communications and document

exchange tool (e.g. eRoom)

f. A central single entry point (of contact) for all IAP



11

1.A practical way to reach out across Europe is to organise a network of IAP representational platforms across Europea.These platforms would most practically be based in existing institutions with geographic or thematic expertise and responsibilities.

2.Geographic/ regional representation

a.The platforms could represent local knowledge (e.g. Eastern-Central-Europe, Scandinavia, etc.) experience and contacts with key decision makers, industry and institutions;

b.A first candidate for the AP geographic platform is ESPI –European Space Policy Institute with a focus on Eastern and central Europe.



12

1. Thematic domain representation

a. These platforms could represent a particular theme or domain, having experience in that domain and/ or being located at or near a European centre specialized in that domain.

b. A first candidate for thematic platform is the Norwegian Center for Telemedicine (NST) in Tromso (Norway) for eHealth in inaccessible regions;

c. Others are starting in UK (enhanced mobility), France (Environmental Risks & Hazards in the Mediterranean Region), Spain (Renewable energies), Finland (Baltic region), etc…



13

Feasibility Studies Introduction

1. Development cycle in preparation of sustainable services

(Awareness => Feasibility Study => Demo Project =>

Sustainable Service)

2. two types of feasibility study activities:

3. a) Fully funded activities (100%)

initiated by ESA in coordination with user partner

as open competitive ITTs

=> Workplan

4. b) Co-funded activities (up to 50%)

initiated by industry and their partners

in direct negotiation

=> Open Call for Proposal (AO 6124) and then injected in the

Workplan or its relevant addendum



14

1. Feasibility Studies activities are generated from:

- awareness activities

- contacts with user communities

- discussions with industry

2. Demo Project Activities are generated from:

- feasibility studies activities

- direct interaction with user communities

- and also discussion with industry

3. DEMO PROJECT ARE ALWAYS COFUNDED UP TO 50% BY IAP

4. Single majority approval by JCB for each activity

(member states may decide not to participate to specific activities)

5. Proposals to be accompanied by letter of support of National

Delegations (contact points made available in handbook or ITT)




Study Logic of an IAP Feasibility Study

•Task 1 – consolidating the interest of the related stakeholders and users, analysing their needs and defining the user requirements, • Task 2 – performing a state-of-the-art analysis of the different existing technological solutions (both space and terrestrial based) • Task 3 – generating the specifications and architecture for the system and its associated services

• Task 4 – proving the feasibility of the system concept and/or of parts thereof (Proof of Concept) in collaboration with the users• Task 5 – analysing the economic and non-economic viability of the system and its associated services, • Task 6 – preparing the roadmap for the further implementation of the system and its associated services (e.g. via a demonstration project)




16

Key selection criteria for IAP activities:

- confirmation of stakeholder interest;

- user involvement;

- identification of the added value of integrated solution;

- at least two different space assets (EO, Satcom, Satnav,

HSF, etc);

- definition of system / service concept (incl. interfaces,

interoperability);

- assessment of technical and non-technical risks;

- economic / non-economic viability / business case;

specifically for Feasibility Studies:

- potential for a follow-on demo project activity;

- willingness of user partner to engage also in demo project.

Integrated Application PromotionITRAQ - Integrated TRaffic management

and Air Quality control in cities



Project driver 1: Air Quality

Integrated Application PromotionITRAQ - Integrated TRaffic managementand Air Quality control in cities

Project driver 2: Traffic Congestion- 50% of Earth inhabitants are living in cities

- Congestion study in East Midlands indicate

an annucal cost of £935 million caused by

traffic congestion (direct cost and wider

impacts on competition, labour market

effects, etc.)

- Average speed in peak times about 25 km/h

- 5% reduction in congestion represents cost

savings of £46 million per year

Comparison of the benefits of reducing PM2.5 (Particulate Matter with an aerodynamicdiameter of less that 2.5µm) by 10 µg/m3 (equivalent to eliminating man-made PM2.5 in 2005), the elimination of motor vehicle traffic accidents and the elimination of exposure to passive smoking.(Source: Department of Health, Ev 142)

Results of Nissan’s SKY project in Kanagawa, Yokahama



ITRAQ is an activity to develop a dynamic traffic management

system for optimising use of the road network whilst meeting growing

demands of improved air quality in urban environments.

Operational priorities are:

- to mitigate traffic congestion

- improve delivery from public transportation networks

- improve air quality

The proposed system will integrate: space services from- Satellite Navigation (GNSS)- Earth Observation (GMES)

with intelligent traffic management technology

UAS for Applications



Integrated Space Systems

and technology in support

of UAS operation:

- Secure and sustainable

communications for Command

and Control beyond line of sight

(BLOS)

- UAV payload data transmission

- Health monitoring / fault detection

- Navigation / tracing /guidance

- RS / Meteorology information

Communication satellites to provide

real-time, secure, and reliable

communication links with global

coverage for telemetry, VHF radio

relay, data links

Navigation satellites to provide

precise and reliable localisation

and navigation

Meteo satellites to provide

information on actual weather and

weather forecasts

Earth observation satellites to

provide information about the

situation in the mission arena









1. Advantages of UAS for applications and services:

- long endurance (up to 2 days)

- high altitudes (up to 30 km)

- suitable for 3D missions (dull, dirty, dangerous)

- higher resolution data than satellites

- repetitive flight patterns when required

- less cost per line km than a manned aircraft (?)

2. Interest of ESA’s IAP programme:

- use of UAS as additional / complementary tool for the

creation of new applications and services

- use of space based services (Satcom, Satnav, Earth Observation)

to a maximum extent in support of UAS





Typical usage pattern of space based tools including UAS

for integrated applications and services:

Space Assets

Unmanned Aerial Systems

Operational ground teams

Space Assets:

- Detection of a potential anomaly (optical /

radar / infrared remote sensing, satellite

AIS, etc.) on large scale

- Support to UAS operations and ground

team operations with Satcom, EO, Satnav,

Manned Spaceflight, others

UAS:

- Deployment of UAS in area of potential

anomaly to collect further information with

higher spatial and temporal resolution

(localisation, pictures, data, etc.)

- Data transfer to operational centre

- Support to ground team operations

Operational ground teams:

- Further investigation of the situation

- Implementation of measures to solve

the problem





• Institutional applications, e.g.:

- Border Surveillance (smuggling, illegal immigration, etc.)

- Maritime surveillance (ship tracking, fishery surveillance, anti-piracy, etc.)

- Event monitoring

- Environmental monitoring

- National infrastructure monitoring

- Disaster relief

- Search and Rescue

• Commercial applications, e.g.:

- Infrastructure monitoring (pipelines, power grids, etc.)

- Cargo transport

- Traffic management

- Aerial surveys

- Geophysical surveys for oil, gas, minerals

- Arctic region (ice reconnaissance, ice navigation, etc)

- Marine applications





Landslide & Subsidence Affecting the Transport Infrastructure (Safety)

1. Background:

a. World-leading Scottish Road Network

Landslides Study identifies 100 “hot

spots”

b. So far nobody has been killed:

Government priority is to keep it that

way.

2. Need: to monitor extensively the environment

of the road including clays, shales & hard

rocks; natural & man-made slopes;

subsidence, landslips, rock falls; known hot

spots & unknown vulnerabilities.

1. Added value of meteorological information:

Prediction of heavy rain over risky areas is

a must to be known.

2. Other Space Assets:

a. EO data sources (SAR interferometry) to

monitor land displacements

b. GNSS data can complement SAR meaures.

c. Satcom will collect GNSS data if the area

has no terrestrial link coverage



Support to Search and Rescue Operations (WP2011)

Service Description:

• On-demand small-scale near real-time meteorological services of the rescue area: including winds, sea roughness, currents...

• Web-based distribution to the air control cell (helo missions), the rescue ships and the ship to be rescued (e.g. to select and prepare air lift areas)

• Capability enabler if this service can be interfaced with models of damaged ship stability and drift prediction under conjugated wind and current

Performance indicators:

• Service availability in max 2hrs preferably 1hr• Reliable forecast min 12hrs preferably 24hrs• Geographic scale: resolution of few 10 km

Degree of Novelty

• Services exceptionally available today not directly interfaced with exploitation tools and web-based broadcast.
