  1. Adopting a Whole-of-Nation Approach to a Sustainable, Multi-GNSS Enabled National Positioning InfrastructureJohn Dawson and Gary Johnston

  2. GNSS Positioning Transforming Australian Industry Precise satellite positioning technology will potentially add up to 2.1% to Australia’s gross domestic product by 2030 through productivity gains in mining, construction and agriculture alone

  3. Importance of Positioning to the Australian Government • Government Service Delivery: National Mapping NBN Natural Hazards Emergency Management Positioning Capability

  4. Importance of Positioning to the Australian Government • Rail: • Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) owned by the Commonwealth of Australia • ARTC currently has responsibility for the management of over 8,500 route kilometres of standard gauge interstate track • Reduced cost of maintaining control of the rail centre-line • Reduced cost of maintaining rail curvature • Lower cost provision of accurate curve and gradient data

  5. Importance of Positioning to the Australian Government • Road Transport: • Safety systems such as Vehicle to Vehicle and Vehicle to Infrastructure will be introduced into Australia around 2018 • Road fatalities in Australia cost $17 billion per annum • Vehicle to Vehicle communications with high accuracy positioning/mapping systems can provide Australia a benefit of ~$20 billion per annum by avoiding congestion, saving 50% of lives and reducing green house gas emissions

  6. National Positioning Plan • Vision: • ‘Instantaneous, reliable and fit-for-purpose positioning and timing services anywhere, anytime across the Australian landscape and its maritime jurisdictions’ • Mission: • ‘A coordinated whole-of-government approach towards building a National Positioning Infrastructure to support government services and industries, and deliver economic well-being for Australia’

  7. NPI – Key Recommendation 1 •  Australian Government must provide leadership in designing a National Positioning Infrastructure (NPI) that is flexible and extensible to meet the needs of all users of positioning information into the next decade

  8. NPI – Key Recommendation 2 •  Endorse a whole-of-government approach for developing and implementing an NPI including the establishment of a governance structure.

  9. NPI – Key Recommendation 3 •  Endorse the development of standards and guidelines for the implementation and operation of an NPI to align with existing international standards.

  10. NPI – Key Recommendation 4 •  Develop an overarching infrastructure implementation plan that accounts for physical and ICT infrastructure, to deliver a high integrity national positioning capability that recognises the existing and ongoing investment in positioning infrastructure

  11. NPI – Key Recommendation 5 •  Develop a risk mitigation strategy to ensure that Australia’s dependence on GNSS systems is mitigated through appropriate agreed contingencies.

  12. Building Australia’s NPI

  13. NPI Governance Structure • Provides reporting to Government • Allows broad participation • Addresses key implementation and ongoing utilisation issues • Standards • Users needs analysis (products specification) • Infrastructure design • Sustainability models • Spectrum Management • Augmentation delivery method (eg. SBAS)

  14. Improved International Engagement • Engagement with System providers • Engagement with Infrastructure and Capability providers • Participation in Standards development • Regional reference Frames JAXA QZSS Master Station Mount Stromlo, Canberra

  15. Building Australia’s NPI

  16. Ground Infrastructure Development • Densified high integrity national network • Fit for purpose for Realtime applications • Unification of “tiers” of infrastructure into a national capability to ensure cost effectiveness and interoperability

  17. Building Australia’s NPI

  18. New Analysis Capability • Sovereign Australian GNSS software • Multi GNSS + • Designed from Ground Up to facilitate real time processing • No predetermined technical solution (i.e PPP or NRTK) • Open source to support GNSS research sector • Structured to ensure agility • Provide integrity monitoring for Space and ground (user) segments

  19. Conclusions • The NPI plan has been developed and will be released publically (soon) • The governance arrangement are being established and a number of you will be invited to participate • The design of ACS will begin this year in a joint Auscope / GA / CRC project • The unification of infrastructure will also continue • NPI will assist Australian users of positioning to take the next big capability step • Australian industry will retain its competiveness through the use of precise positioning • Australia’s positioning sector will continue to lead
