  1. RADM Richard West, USN (ret.) Capitol Hill Oceans Week June 5, 2007

  2. Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- Hydrography • Nautical, topographic, and aero charts are available in both in paper and electronic formats • Integration of this and other digital data is the focus of ongoing efforts

  3. Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- Hydrography METOC LOGISTICS TACTICAL UNITS ALL SOURCE INTELLIGENCE GEOSPATIAL FRAMEWORK IMAGERY Goal: Full Maritime Domain Awareness Provides Environmental Understanding Ensures Educated Decision-Making Assures Safety & Readiness Enables Dominant Sea Power

  4. Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- Hydrography X Y Z T Foundation: Common Standards Single standard geospatial reference for absolute position GPS UTC Coordinated Universal Time Single standard precise time reference for synchronicity

  5. Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- Hydrography Actual Position Datum shift applied GPS Position No datum shift applied Pitfall: Loss of SA and Navigation Safety * Common reference is critical

  6. Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- Hydrography Advantages: Leveraging Technology • Digital Nautical Charts DNCs Support Global DoD Maritime Navigation Requirements • When used in conjunction with ECDIS-N • Reduced Maintenance time • Exchange of Voyage Plans • Alarms to alert mariner to possible hazards • Automatic input of navigation sensors • Automatic recording of data • Integration with other systems to provide common geo-referencedreal-time display of relevant information

  7. Capitol Hill Ocean Week -- Hydrography Building the Digital Maritime Domain: Hydrographic Surveys • Charts No Better Than Data on Which They’re Based • New Hydrographic Surveys = More Accurate Data • Multibeam/Side Scan Sonar for Depths, Wrecks, Obstructions, Updated Navigation Information
