  2. Does not, will not, “own” its GNSS Client for services Looks to its own national interest Aviation sector has particular national characteristics Fast adopter of technology Innovative adapter Australia’s position CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  3. 1999 study launched by DoTaRS identified Widespread and growing use of GNSS in Australia Multi-modal transport applications critical Lack of coordination leading to sub-optimal outcomes, potential spectrum loss, paucity of reliable information Advisory body to government called for Why the AGCC? CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  4. AGCC established by Minister for Transport and Regional Services May 2000 Federal Government recognition of need for effective coordination of GNSS implementation AGCC Establishment CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  5. Consider and develop mechanisms to coordinate all land, sea and air aspects of GNSS Promote the safe and effective utilisation and development of GNSS in Australia Coordinate national security issues, the application of augmentation systems and the national use of GNSS in other relevant applications Committee Role CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  6. Independent Chair DoTaRS ITS Australia Aviation Dept of Defence Defence Science & Technology Land Transport Academia Dept of Communications CSIRO Geoscience Australia Maritime Emergency services Private sector service providers Free-to-air service providers Membership CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  7. Launched by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Transport and Regional Services 28 August 2002 Vision is that Australia will be a world leader inthe multimodal application of satellite navigation Policy is based on eight principles Australia’s GNSS Policy: Positioning for the Future CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  8. GNSS implementation in Australia will be approached at a national level with the objective of providing multimodal GNSS services with full national coverage. 1. National Coverage CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  9. The application of GNSS technology to any activity should maintain or enhance existing levels of safety in that activity, particularly life-critical activities. 2. Safety CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  10. The efficiency and safety of a broad range of existing industries will be increased and new industry opportunities will be created by exploiting the potential of GNSS based applications. This will result in substantial benefits to the Australian economy and the Australian public 3. Efficiency, Economic and Social benefits CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  11. Australia will have an innovative world class industry that is internationally competitive in the development, provision and use of applications that utilise GNSS technology. 4. Industry development CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  12. The application of GNSS technology will focus on user requirements. Innovation and new applications will be actively encouraged in order to derive benefits to the Australian economy and the Australian community. 5. Flexibility of policy and strategy CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  13. National and preferably international standards will be developed and used to provide formal and practical assurance of the availability, integrity, continuity of service and accuracy levels of equipment, services and practices. 6. Standards CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  14. The application of GNSS will achieve both intentional and incidental environmental benefits. 7. Environmental benefits CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  15. All GNSS activities must be consistent with or contribute to national security and national and international defence requirements. 8. National Security CGSIC ISC Feb 2003

  16. Awareness raising Relationships Studies Agriculture sector Interference Spectrum protection Liability GPS verification for evidence purposes AGCC Current Issues CGSIC ISC Feb 2003
