The beginning of this decade witnessed an array of natural and man-made events that seriously challenged many nations’ abilities to predict, respond, recover and progress from the effects of tragic events. Ø Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption

Ø Haiti’s and Christchurch’s earthquakes

Ø Queensland’s, New South Wale’s and Victoria’s floods

Ø Western Australia’s fires

Ø Japan’s earthquakes and tsunami

Ø Poland’s Tu-154 air crash

Ø Shen Neng 1 grounding on Great Barrier Reef & Rena grounding on Astrolabe Reef, NZ

Ø  LOST – MH370 and SHOT DOWN – MH17

The eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano on 14 April 2010 affected the economic, political and cultural activities in Europe and across the world. There was extensive air travel disruption caused by the closure of airspace over many countries

On 3 April 2010, Shen Neng 1 was transiting from Gladstone, Queensland to China carrying a cargo of 65,000 tonnes of coal. She ran aground around 70 kilometres off Great Keppel Island in a restricted area which forms part of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park

Ø  It is now 2020 & a complex environment

By 2020 the Oceania has become a truly complex environment: Ø International trade and associated infrastructure costs have become contemporary challenges driven by very competitive markets in the region. The efficient management of the infrastructure and the protection of the infrastructure are vitally important.

Ø Terrorism remains a serious concern in the South-East Asia – Oceania region; concerns that include the safety of transportation. National security is a high priority for the nation’s government.

Ø Environmental incidents seem to have become far more extreme and more common. The past decade has witnessed devastating events that have contributed to loss of life and high financial costs.

Ø Eurobodalla OIESS 2020

OIESS facilitates natural disaster information integration; commands and controls incident response to national security tasks; interacts with future navigation systems; and achieves outcomes via an advanced Geospatial Information Infrastructure

EVENT RECORD AND REPLAY CAPABILITY GREEN-FLIGHT – HIGHJACK – INTELLIGENT RESPONSE

The future will require new concepts and models for ‘deep structure’ representing complex relationships

The future will require visualization for ‘situation awareness’ in time and space

The concept of an “Intelligent Airport” is an emerging concept that supports innovative approaches to airport management. In addition to traditional operational needs the approach offers functionality to aircraft surveillance (security), control, guidance and routing capabilities. The illustrations show sensor (millimetre wave, optical identification) concepts and asset management concepts.

STANLEY is an autonomous vehicle created by Stanford University’s Stanford Racing Team in cooperation with Volkswagen Electronics Research Laboratory. It competed in, and won, the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, earning the team the two million dollar prize, the largest prize money in robotic history. Stanley covered the 212 km (132 mi) off-road course in 6 hours 54 minutes.

What Robots See Robots don't see the world like humans do. They don't recognize discrete objects and have little common sense. Instead of seeing, today's robots measure. The Stanford team invented a technique called ”ADAPTIVE VISION," which allows its robot, STANLEY, to see farther and drive faster, even as the road changes over different types of terrain.

Ø  It really is all about culture: Ø It’s about having an intelligence view with engineering skills

It’s about CARTOGRAPHY: It’s about Claudius Ptolemy and Gerardus Mercator

It’s about CARTOGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE: It’s about Henry VIII and Nain Singh

It’s about EXPLORATION and DISCOVERY: It’s about James Cook and Thomas Mitchell

It’s about the SHAPE OF THE EARTH: It’s about Giovanni Domenico Cassini and Charles-Marie de la Condamine

It’s about INNOVATION and INVENTION: It’s about Nicholas Chrisman and F Vivian Thompson

It’s about MANAGEMENT and DIRECTION: It’s about Vanessa Lawrence and Lawrence FitzGerald

It is time for a new era to begin! It is time for the Surveying and Mapping discipline to take a preeminent place in our nation’s management

It is time for Geodesists and Cartographers to take lead scientific roles in key organisations and agencies

It will be then that the vision of EEPCOTAT & Eurobodalla OIESS will be realised!

It is time for IMAGINATION!
