3 Background Committee on the Marine Transportation System Chartered in : CMTS Navigation Technology IAT Worked on specific, multi-agency navigation technology projects 2011: USCG-USACE Commander s meeting USCG and USACE to work together on development of e-navigation Joint recommendation that CMTS develop National e-navigation Strategy : Drafting the Strategy Strategic Action Plan completed Fall 2011 Approved and published February >Resources >Downloads and Publications

4 US CMTS e-navigation Strategic Action Plan Published February 2012 Principles: Action from concept to capabilities Alignment with international efforts Built on existing capabilities User needs Activities: CMTS e-nav IAT established March 2012 Initial work plan approved 12 June 12

5 CMTS e-navigation IAT Terms of Reference Purpose: develop and carry out a work plan for the implementation of the [e-nav SAP]. Membership: Open to all CMTS agencies Co-chairs: USCG, USACE, NOAA Communicate and collaborate with MTS stakeholders as appropriate work through accepted Federal channels to communicate and collaborate with international organizations and appropriate non-governmental organizations under the authorities and roles of the agencies participating in the e-nav IAT.

6 CMTS e-navigation IAT Terms of Reference Objectives: Identify existing e-navigation capabilities Identify e-navigation users Enhance e-navigation systems interoperability Cover inland, coastal and offshore regions of the marine transportation system Evaluate the proper mix of e-navigation systems and traditional aids to navigation and navigation services Clarify roles and responsibilities of government, NGOs, technical standards organizations and industry Align US and International e-navigation efforts

12 Backup information

13 e-navigation International definition: e-navigation is the harmonised collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information onboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth to berth navigation and related services, for safety and security at sea and protection of the marine environment MSC85/26/Add.1 annex 20

14 Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-nav 140 on e-navigation Architecture the shore perspective

15 e-navigation: three sides of the coin Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-nav 140 on e-navigation Architecture the shore perspective

16 Key elements of e-navigation Standard technology onboard and ashore Provides commonality for users and known capabilities Communications capabilities Flexible wireless comms, adaptable to dynamic needs AIS, VHF Data Exchange, WiMAX, etc. Data architecture Common understanding - speak the same language Authoritative data sources/stewards

17 International e-navigation implementation

18 US RIS Implementation Build on existing capabilities USACE: LOMA, FILS/FINDE*, LPMS USCG: Vessel data, NAIS services NOAA/USGS: met/hydro obs and predictions Start providing services low hanging fruit Lock operational information Water levels, met/hydro observations and forecasts Establish a RIS Center Public-private partnership Personnel * Session 3B, Weds 11:00 am, Room 120
