C-SIGMA: Improving International Collaboration in Space to Enhance Maritime Situational Awareness
|
08.30-12.10- 1st February 2017, Crowne Plaza Rome St Peter’s Hotel, Rome, Italy Hosted By Guy Thomas, President, C-SGIMA |
|
SUMMARY Space-based Surveillance is among the most important means of monitoring the oceans today; satellites provide the widest possible range for observation and have the benefit of being in international territory to fulfil their roles. This includes everything from pollution monitoring to suspect marine traffic, even signals intelligence. Unfortunately, financial and resources restrictions prevent any one nation being able to provide full global coverage. Furthermore, the vast majority of the planet’s water lies in international territory and therefore requires an international approach to successfully monitor and police. C-SIGMA is a major advocate for international collaboration in space-based maritime surveillance, seeking to transform mechanisms by which nations work together on this highly crucial subject, if you are interested in how this can be done, this workshop is for you. Topics covered will include: 08.30 – Registration and Coffee 09.10 – The Importance of Off-the-Shelf Technologies 09.40 – Maximising Surveillance Coverage Through Integration of Optico-electric, AIS and SIGINT Satellite Systems 10.10 – Coffee Break 10.40 – Other integrated systems 11.10 – Time Crucial Gathering, Interpreting and Dissemination of Information to C-SIGMA ‘Customers’ 11.40 – Case Studies and Discussions 12.10 – Closing remarks |
