Book Synopsis Cooperative Monitoring in the South China Sea by : John C. Baker
Download or read book Cooperative Monitoring in the South China Sea written by John C. Baker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-03-30 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Spratly Islands have represented a potential political and military flashpoint in the South China Sea for years, involving as they do various claims by China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Taiwan. This edited volume examines the issues involved in light of confidence- building measures that new high-resolution satellite imagery can offer to this, and other, regions. Baker, Wiencek, and their contributors assess the potential role for cooperative monitoring in mitigating the risk of conflict arising from multinational disputes over the Spratly Islands. They analyze how this new generation of civilian and commercial observation satellites can be used to reduce the changes of armed conflict breaking out by providing transparency that will detect and identify politically significant activities occurring at disputed islands and reefs among the Spratlys. Of particular interest to policy makers, scholars, and other researchers involved with military issues in Asia and international security concerns.

Download or read book Open Space written by Mariel Borowitz and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-02-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of environmental satellite data sharing policies, offering a model of data-sharing policy development, case and practical recommendations for increasing global data sharing. Key to understanding and addressing climate change is continuous and precise monitoring of environmental conditions. Satellites play an important role in collecting climate data, offering comprehensive global coverage that can't be matched by in situ observation. And yet, as Mariel Borowitz shows in this book, much satellite data is not freely available but restricted; this remains true despite the data-sharing advocacy of international organizations and a global open data movement. Borowitz examines policies governing the sharing of environmental satellite data, offering a model of data-sharing policy development and applying it in case studies from the United States, Europe, and Japan—countries responsible for nearly half of the unclassified government Earth observation satellites. Borowitz develops a model that centers on the government agency as the primary actor while taking into account the roles of such outside actors as other government officials and non-governmental actors, as well as the economic, security, and normative attributes of the data itself. The case studies include the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the U.S. National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), and the United States Geological Survey (USGS); the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT); and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA). Finally, she considers the policy implications of her findings for the future and provides recommendations on how to increase global sharing of satellite data.
Book Synopsis Space With A Private View by : David W. Myers
Download or read book Space With A Private View written by David W. Myers and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth Observation and Remote Sensing market is one of the most dynamic sectors of the commercial space industry. Once reserved for nation-state sponsored space programs, today scores of private companies are investing in commercial satellite constellations and changing the way Earth observation imagery and data are delivered. This short primer provides the reader with a comprehensive, yet readily digestible, overview of the space based geospatial intelligence industry. It includes a detailed look at the historical development, principle technologies, market forces and pioneering companies that are offering organizations without in orbit capabilities of their own, a private view from space.

Book Synopsis The Role of Space-Based Surveillance in Gulf Security by : Bhupendra Jasani
Download or read book The Role of Space-Based Surveillance in Gulf Security written by Bhupendra Jasani and published by Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research. This book was released on 1998-08-14 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapidly improving quality and availability of commercial satellite imagery will soon enable any state to collect detailed and comprehensive imagery intelligence of its neighbors. If harnessed into multinational bodies such as regional satellite monitoring agencies, this capability can be used positively to promote transparency and confidence-building measures. The Middle East as a whole, and the Gulf in particular, at present lack an effective confidence-building measures regime and the means to promote greater transparency. In the Middle East, the multilateral Arms Control and Regional Security talks have stalled while in the Gulf, no stable security system has been established since the end of the 1991 Gulf War. Instead, the US-led policy of dual containment is extending a temporary security umbrella over a fundamentally unstable region. There is a pressing need for enhanced security cooperation and for the construction of a more inclusive, intra-regional cooperative security regime. This must include confidence-building measures and transparency as initial steps. This monologue makes the case for the establishment of a Gulf Satellite Center which, run on a multilateral basis and using commercially available imagery and techniques, could have a dramatic effect in improving intra-regional transparency. The satellite center could be modeled on the Western European Union's Satellite Center and would have similar roles, including arms control verification, crisis monitoring and environmental monitoring. It could also assist in border security and maritime policing tasks.
Book Synopsis Critical Infrastructure Protection by : Robert F. Dacey
Download or read book Critical Infrastructure Protection written by Robert F. Dacey and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002-02 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the Fed. gov't. relies on commercial satellites (CS), security threats leading to their disruption or loss would put gov't. functions (incl. communications and info. transmission) at significant risk. The GAO was asked to review, among other things, the techniques used by Fed. agencies to reduce the risk assoc. with using CS, as well as efforts to improve satellite system security undertaken as part of Fed. efforts in critical infrastructure protection. GAO recommends that steps be taken to promote the appropriate development and implementation of policy regarding the security of CS systems. Recommends that CS be identified as a critical infrastructure in the national critical infrastructure protection strategy. Charts and tables.

Book Synopsis International Safeguards and Satellite Imagery by : Bhupendra Jasani
Download or read book International Safeguards and Satellite Imagery written by Bhupendra Jasani and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the considerable advances made in the quality of sensors on board commercial observation satellites, information gained from them not only became widely available, but very useful for the verification of a number of arms control treaties including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (the NPT). Satellites have begun to play an important role in the safeguards procedures under the NPT. For example, from satellites, nuclear facilities and activities such as the construction and shapes of buildings (including underground activities), plant expansion, and changes in operational status can be monitored. For an effective use of satellite imagery, it is important to determine identifiable signatures related to nuclear facilities that could be used in the interpretation and verification of activities. The book presents studies on visual and computer-based interpretation of remote sensing data for international safeguards purposes.
