Presentation Transcript

  1. ACMA - RadComms2014 UAS Technology an Emerging Strategic Capability in Driving Australian Productivity By Mark Xavier (Group MD/CEO)

  2. Focus of this Presentation • UAS/UAV Technology (Overview) • Productivity Benefits (How, What & Where) • A Market Disruptor (Evolutionary vs Revolutionary) • Business Strategy (Options – buy, lease or rent) • Capability Sustainment (Challenges)

  3. RPAS/UAS – Typical System Platform Type Control & data-links 4G, P2P, WAN, etc Sensors EO/other (day / night) Data Information Real time or Stills Ground Control Station

  4. Applications - Actionable Product • HD streaming video – Day/Night; • HD stills – Colour, Hyper/multi spec, 3D models; • Sensing – weather/climate/environment; • Telecom/Mobile - Bandwidth Platforms; • Delivery – food/water, medical, SAR & SFR • NB: CASA 600+ applications

  5. Small RPAS in emergency management

  6. QLD Rural Fire Trials 2010

  7. Immediate Operational Impact • Real-time appreciation • Rapid decision making • Accurate resource allocation • Task Prioritisation • OH&S support • Tactical view anywhere via www

  8. 3D Survey of Mines & other Assets

  9. 3D Modelling of terrain and other assets

  10. RPAS/UAS CapabilityDevelopment Matrix Operational & Effective

  11. Networks of Integrated Systems

  12. Productivity • Is an average measure of the efficiency of production. The ratio of inputs to outputs in the production process. • UAS/UAV Technology will provide the end-user the geospatial information to deploy more cost-effectively: • Labour; and • Capital (including other robots). • The result will be significant productivity gains particularly once a multiplier effect can be achieved using other robots and automation. • A few % will result in $B to Australia’s GDP bottom line.

  13. Example - Robots as a Productivity Multiplier

  14. Productivity Benefits – Who? • Mining & Energy • Agriculture & Aquaculture • Forestry & Environment • Infrastructure & Construction • Education & Tourism • Government & Defense • Hi-Tech Industries • NB: Any sector that is geospatially challenged!

  15. Productivity Benefits – How? • 24/7 Automation (Never Sleeps) • Accuracy (cm/mm – revolutionary in many sectors) • Repeatability (Change Management) • Reliability (Continuous Improvement) • Access (Business Model & Low-Cost Options)

  16. Productivity Outcome • Higher Quality of Output (Premiums) • Higher Quantity of Output (new markets) • Lower Cost per unit Produced (Efficient) • Reduced Waste (use only what is required) • Continuous Improvement (tech & processes)

  17. Productivity – Challenges • Technology Uptake (Capability Development) • Regulatory Issues (Pace of Change) • Public Perceptions (False & Real) • Bandwidth (ACMA Challenge) • Data (Processing, Storage & Privacy/Security)

  18. The National Airspace (NAS) (Higher Barriers to Entry) Larger Systems 20kg+ > 500ft Operations 100ft Buffer/transition zone < 400ft Operations (Lower Barriers to Entry) Small Systems 1-20kg

  19. The National Airspace (NAS) > 500-60,000ft Operations 100ft Buffer/transition zone < 400ft Operations

  20. The Market Disruptor > 500ft Operations (Hi-Regulatory costs) Evolutionary – Substitution of current Aviation Capabilities < 400ft Operations (Low-Regulatory costs) Revolutionary – New Industry Capabilities

  21. Market Development Example > 500ft Operations (IBM - Big Blue) 100ft Buffer/transition zone < 400ft Operations (PC on every desk)

  22. Majority by UOC numbers 99% • < 400ft systems (Tier 1 UAS) • < 7kg electric fixed and or multi-rotor • Visual line of sight (VLOS) • Scope for BVLOS, night & populous ops • Lower cost to purchase, comply & employ

  23. Tiered UAS Business Approach • Tier 1 – Organic Tactical ‘tool box’ approach • Tier 2 – Service Agreements with Govt/ASX • Tier 3 – Federal Agencies (ADF/BPC) • Tier 1 UAS are revolutionary (new capability tool) • Tier 2+ UAS are evolutionary (supplement manned operations) • N.B: Access to any tier will be limited by cost & difficulty of employment

  24. Business Model Options • Organic developed capability • Purchased 3rd Party Services • Mixed – organic & 3rd party services* • Usually for overflow or for beyond routine tasks • N.B: Volunteer crews in EMS organisations

  25. Small UAS/UAVs in volunteer based community organisations could be significant SLSA Beach Trials 2012

  26. RPAS/UAS Capability Matrix - Stakeholders Operational & Effective

  27. Correctly Employed UAS/UAV Technology will have a Significant Commercial Multiplier Effect in Driving Australia’s Core Economic Productivity
