The Anarchic Sea
Recently the sea has become the locus of international terrorism and transnational crime, with the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and people monopolizing the resources of governments and agencies. These threats have united otherwise disparate countries in the fight to secure the ocean's trade and traffic. Yet the effort to control maritime activity can also give rise to great tension and conflict, as in the fight over Spratley and Paracel Islands in the South China Sea and the Lomonosov Ridge in the Arctic Ocean. The dwindling of natural resources dwindle might also force the world's navies to battle over economically vital sea lanes—the growth of such forces across the world being one sign of imminent conflict. The development of military capacity always increases the possibility of abuse. The Anarchic Sea maps the terrain of modern maritime security through seven dimensions, concluding with suggestions for integrating individual components into a cohesive, more efficient protective network.
Satellite Data
Following on from Volume 1, in which the architecture of a ground segment designed to support a wide range of space missions was described, the author concentrates on the issues that control and effect the design of a data centre. The text describes and illustrates the principles behind the design and function of a data centre that is capable of supporting any kind of space exploitation, both commercial and scientific. The author describes the main functions - archiving, cataloguing, product generation and dissemination user support and training - and the problems faced by the designers of such facilities.
Satellite Data
The planned growth of scientific and commercial space exploitation in the areas of remote sensing, astronomy, solar terrestrial physics and microgravity requires the deployment of a space and ground segment infrastructure capable of delivering satellite data, in a timely fashion, to users from a vast array of satellite sensor systems.
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
This study opens with a look at the significance of remote sensing and geographic information systems in the mineral industry before moving on to briefly outline the basic concepts of remote sensing. The author defines the role of geographic information systems (GIS), examining the synergistic importance of data integration. Also covered are raster and vector based systems and problems of data input. Examples of hardware and software are given and some case histories reviewed. There is comprehensive coverage of current spaceborne and airborne systems and a review of systems that are still under development. This section of the book closes with a discussion on what criteria to consider in choosing the right system for the job.
Satellite Operations
This book aims to demonstrate how multiple development activities in space exploitation can be reduced by a rationalized approach, which can result in technical standards and methodologies. It concentrates on systems engineering techniques, with a blend of relevant engineering management techniques. A communications system embracing a geostationary communications satellite is taken as the book's prime example.
