National Security
• By monitoring military activities in restricted areas from space, GeoEye will help national security agencies manage international relations on a global scale.
• Real-time high-resolution imagery will help the United States government to monitor borders; gather intelligence on potential conflicts; identify and target enemy troops and assets; plan air, ground and naval missions; deploy resources; and assess battle damage.
45
National Security
• Benefits include:– Intelligence organizations can perform
treaty verification and general surveillance activities
–Military services can efficiently produce "3D fly-throughs" for mission planning
–National security organizations can detect potential enemy targets and perform battle damage

Approach
– Acquisition of Geo Rectified Imagery, from existing archive or new tasking of IKONOS
– Ortho Rectification– Raster to Vector
feature extraction, using both automated and manual processing.
– Alternatively, use existing CAD drawings to overlay onto the raster imagery, for Facility Management requirements.

(5) End User – New applications
emerging that require the harbour or estuary moving map display on supplementary display devices that may be fixed, or portable in bridge of the ship.
– Information may also be fused with Bathymetric data to build complete 3D moving map displays that can be used for special mission types, like Homeland Security or Anti-Drug Smuggling.

Benefits of Marine Information from IKONOS
– Clarity of our Pan-Sharpened product allows for outstanding feature extraction.
– Outstanding ability to register the imagery information into known coordinate systems, with up to 2-meter positional accuracy (using our Precision Pro product) far exceeds most of our competitors.
– Anywhere in the world. Period.

Case Study – Port Facilities Management
– Existing Naval Facilities, that had been extensively updated, enhanced, and modified, as well as numerous building demolitions.
– IKONOS used as “as-built” truth, to be compared with the “to-be-built” CAD information.
– Significant Size Port facility was targeted, that would be equal or larger to most commercial facilities Norfolk
55
Example – Coastal Change Detection
– Work with National Mapping organizations in order to use IKONOS imagery to compare and contrast changes in coastline, for the purposes of updating or creating new vector maps, for both paper and electronic moving maps products (known as ENC).

Example – Marine Disaster Reconstruction
– During actual shipping disasters, the IKONOS satellite’s near real time flexible tasking may be the only commercial asset capable of acquiring images of what actually transpired for insurance purposes.

Projects under discussion for Maldives
• The main opportunities for high-res satellite imagery are as follows: 1. Analysis and sequencing of new government development projects
• 2. Remote monitoring of ongoing commercial and government development projects
• 3. Coastal projects across the country ranging from dredging operations to land reclamation.
• 4. Prospective joint projects with the Ministry of Housing for island land-use plans
• 5. Prospective joint projects with the Ministry of Construction who conduct site surveys for development.
• 6. Potential interest for the government to make a volume commitment to imagery that then might also benefit commercial developers who require imagery for private development projects.
61
IKONOS Imagery of Maldives
• Based on the discussions so far, GeoEye proposes a project where in all of Maldives (300,000 Sq Kms) are imaged with high resolution IKONOS imagery (1.0m) during the period of November 2007-December 2008.
• Deliverables: – IKONOS imagery in color Geo Orthokit product softcopy
will be supplied covering all the Islands. – The License will cover distribution rights to all other
Government Agencies and Private entities with in Maldives.
62
Land use and Land Cover and Bathymetric Maps of the Maldives
– GeoEye will arrange for mapping of the Maldives to produce the Landuse Land cover map of the islands (classification to be finalized)
– GeoEye will arrange for mapping of the Maldives to produce the Bathymetric Maps of the islands based on sample field measurements of depths provided by Maldives Government (classification to be finalized).
– The Mapping Project will be designed in such a way that the areas of priority will be taken up.
– On the job training will be given to staff of Maldives for carrying out the mapping.
– The cost of Mapping will be determined based on the classification, volume of mapping work and Training.
63
Monitoring of the Construction/ Dredging sites
– GeoEye will provide periodic coverage of specific sites where high priority projects are in progress.
– The frequency of coverage can be every month or more frequently.
– Minimum coverage of each site is 100 Sq Kms and minimum number of coverages are six times.
– If required GeoEye will highlight the changes that have occurred through automatic change detection image processing techniques.
64
Satellite based monitoring of illegal fishing by foreign vessels within the Maldives EEZ
• GeoEye and Maldives Government signs an agreement for the implementation of the project “Satellite based monitoring of illegal fishing by foreign vessels within the Maldives EEZ”.– GeoEye will cover the area of interest for Maldives Government
on a regular basis. How much area??– The browse imagery will be generated with in 12 hours of
acquiring the imagery and will be accessible via internet.– The Coast Guard may subscribe to Lloyds information service.– Coast Guard identifies the candidate vessels. Or on prior
arrangement GeoEye identifies the candidate vessels and sends a report by email.
– Coast Guard inspects them by Air or sea. • GeoEye is willing to start the project with a campaign for 6
months to give confidence to Maldives Government. • Details to be discussed.
