3 1 INTRODUCTION This SOW describes the work to be performed on the basis of the selection of one (1) Special User Community. The Special User Community maybe selected from the 6 listed below. Alternatively the consortium may propose another type of Special User Community (covering any of the Galileo core services) with the exception of Location Based Services, road, rail, maritime and aviation. o Special UC#1: Land surveying and civil engineering: requiring high accuracy positioning for construction and maintenance of different infrastructures such as geodetic networks, maps or transport networks. o Special UC#2: Agriculture sector for which Galileo service characteristics are essential, as service guarantee and liability (for parcel measurement) or safety and integrity performances (for precision farming). o Special UC#3: Multi-modal transport and remote asset tracking: characterised by applications in support of the implementation of the EU white paper on transport policy 1. o Special UC#4: Emergency management and law enforcement: this domain is characterised by GNSS applications mainly driven by the provision of social benefits. o Special UC#5: Energy domain: number of professional applications (positioning for offshore plants, pipelines, and rig anchoring, time synchronisation of wide distribution networks related to energy, communication). o Special UC#6: Scientific Research for which EGNOS and Galileo offer a number of benefits. Additional description of the specific aspects characterising these special UC s is given in the Annex A. These GNSS UC s must be seen as complement to the most traditional communities, namely: road, rail, maritime, aviation and location based services. These traditional communities are addressed by others SOW s of the same 6FP call, as consequence any potential overlapping between special and traditional user communities, in term of applications, work and objectives, should be avoided. At the same time synergies, coordination and exchange of inputs/outputs are encouraged among the special communities and the traditional communities. This coordination will be implemented under the supervision of the GJU. In the rest of this SOW the UC will be referred to one of the six special communities listed before. 1 WHITE PAPER "European transport policy for 2010 : time to decide - 3 -
