Abstract

This paper describes architecture of regional satellite augmentation system (RSAS) in the function of the maritime space communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) and global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) networks for enhanced safety and surveying of oceangoing ships, management and tracking of cargo, security of Mariners onboard commercial and passenger ships, yachts, sea platforms and other types of craft. The RSAS network are designed to improve vessel management and transport operation because of the enormous expansion of the world's merchant fleet. However, this network with a special ship tracking system can also improve the protection of merchant ships and their crews against piracy, violence, robbery and terrorist attacks. The international maritime organization (IMO) and shipping flag states have project for development of the international ship and port security (ISPS) and design to implement an approaching and port control system (APCS) by special code for all merchant vessels including determination, tracking and positioning of all ships movements in and out of the seaport area. The Maritime RSAS and CNS systems are integration components of the global satellite augmentation systems (GSAS) of two operational GNSS-1 military networks, such as the US global position system (GPS) and Russian global satellite navigation system (GLONASS). In this paper are also introduced the special effects of the ships RSAS networks and coastal movement guidance and control (CMGC) system for maritime application at sea and in seaports areas.

Abstract

This paper introduces architecture of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) networks in the function of the maritime space communications, navigation and surveillance (CNS) for enhanced navigation and positioning of vessels deploying passive, active and hybrid global determination satellite systems (GDSS) networks. These GNSS networks have to enhance safety and control oceangoing ships in navigation across the ocean and inland waters, to improve logistics and freight of goods, security of crew and passengers onboard ships. The maritime GNSS networks integrated with geostationary earth orbit (GEO) satellite constellations are providing important global satellite augmentation systems (GSAS) architecture, which is established by two first generations known GNSS as GNSS-1 infrastructures. The GNSS-1 network is the composition of two subnets such as the US global position system (GPS) and Russian global satellite navigation system (GLONASS). Both GNSS-1 networks play a significant contribution in very precise timing, tracking, guidance, determination and navigation of the oceangoing ships. At this point, both GNSS-1 networks, GPS and GLONASS, are used in maritime and many other mobile and fixed applications to provide enhanced accuracy and high integrity monitoring usable for positioning of the oceangoing ships. To provide improvements of GNSS-1 network it will be necessary to carry out their augmentation within several regional satellite augmentation systems (RSAS) as integration parts of GSAS infrastructures.

Abstract

This paper introduces an advanced e-education provision via space systems for Africa or any other regions in remote dispersed communities, such as rural, mining, agriculture, surveying, construction, tourism, military and etc. Based on the specific needs and requirements e-education implies significant broadband applications, interconnectivity, and timely and quality-assured content delivery of service. The e-education solutions of distance learning and training for remote and rural areas, which are beyond range of terrestrial and short distance wireless cellular facilities, cannot provide broadband access without space-enabled communication solutions, such as satellite constellations and stratospheric platform systems (SPS) or high altitude platforms (HAP). This paper also discusses the integration challenges that are presented by combining space solutions for implementation e-education and learning in rural and mobile environments. Configuration of in-house development of all segments, installation of the scale-down digital video broadcasting-return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS) hub (gateway), ground network and very small aperture terminal (VSAT), known as fixed interactive terminals (FIT), for e-education, distance learning and staff training initiative in Africa are described.

Abstract

In this paper are introduced the new airship techniques and technologies as cost effective solutions of Stratospheric Communication Platforms (SCP) as future backbone of terrestrial networks for rural communications. The launch or putting in position the airship is not critical point such as launch of satellite and controlling support services in the creation of space-based communication technology and the most expensive phase of the total system cost. Therefore, with few cost effective remote controlled and solar powered airships can be covered some region or country including remote and rural areas with low density of population. The airship SCP network offers better solutions than cellular radio systems, with greater speed of transmission than even optical modes, roaming will be enhanced without severe shadowing or obstacle problems and disturbances inside of buildings and service will cost less. The SPS mission system is more autonomous and discrete, can be integrated with current satellite and cellular systems, and will be the best solution for rural, mobile transportation and military applications. The SCP airship can be seen well from all positions inside coverage area, because they are overlapping the total coverage and because of elevation angle. In any circumstances mountains, buildings and even trees cannot cause obstructions like to cellular network. For these reasons, there is currently a revival of interest for SCP constellations and application types of various system concepts are being studied.
