4. Attachment F Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 4 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.)

7. Attachment F Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 7 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 Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 8 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)

9. Attachment F Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 9 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 Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 10 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

12. Attachment F Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 12 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 Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 13 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

14. Attachment F Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 14 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 Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 15 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 Commercial Remote Sensing Space Policy (CRSSP) 16 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
