3. Background • Committee on the Marine Transportation System • Chartered in 2005 • www.cmts.gov • 2008-2010: CMTS Navigation Technology IAT • Worked on specific, multi-agency navigation technology projects • 2011: USCG-USACE Commander’s meeting • USCG and USACE to work together on development of e-Navigation • Joint recommendation that CMTS develop National e-Navigation Strategy • 2011-2012: Drafting the Strategy • “Strategic Action Plan” completed Fall 2011 • Approved and published February 2012 • www.cmts.gov >Resources >Downloads and Publications

4. US CMTSe-Navigation Strategic Action Plan Published February 2012 Principles: • Action – from concept to capabilities • Alignment with international efforts • Built on existing capabilities • User needs Activities: • CMTS e-Nav IAT established March 2012 • Initial work plan approved 12 June 12

5. CMTS e-Navigation IAT Terms of Reference • Purpose: “develop and carry out a work plan for the implementation of the [e-Nav SAP].” • Membership: • Open to all CMTS agencies • Co-chairs: • USCG, USACE, NOAA • “Communicate and collaborate with MTS stakeholders as appropriate” • “work through accepted Federal channels to communicate and collaborate with international organizations… and appropriate non-governmental organizations… under the authorities and roles of the agencies participating in the e-Nav IAT.”

6. CMTS e-Navigation IAT Terms of Reference • Objectives: • Identify existing e-Navigation capabilities • Identify e-Navigation users • Enhance e-Navigation systems interoperability • Cover inland, coastal and offshore regions of the marine transportation system • Evaluate the proper mix of e-Navigation systems and traditional aids to navigation and navigation services • Clarify roles and responsibilities of government, NGOs, technical standards organizations and industry • Align US and International e-Navigation efforts

13. e-NavigationInternational definition: “e-Navigation is the harmonised collection, integration, exchange, presentation and analysis of maritime information onboard and ashore by electronic means to enhance berth to berth navigation and related services, for safety and security at sea and protection of the marine environment” MSC85/26/Add.1 annex 20

14. “Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-Nav 140 on e-Navigation Architecture – the shore perspective”

15. e-Navigation: “three sides of the coin” “Information Paper on the Draft IALA Recommendation e-Nav 140 on e-Navigation Architecture – the shore perspective”

16. Key elements of e-Navigation • Standard technology onboard and ashore • Provides commonality for users and known capabilities • Communications capabilities • Flexible wireless comms, adaptable to dynamic needs • AIS, VHF Data Exchange, WiMAX, etc. • Data architecture • Common understanding - “speak the same language” • Authoritative data sources/stewards

17. International e-Navigation implementation

18. US RIS Implementation • Build on existing capabilities • USACE: LOMA, FILS/FINDE*, LPMS • USCG: Vessel data, NAIS services • NOAA/USGS: met/hydro obs and predictions • Start providing services • “low hanging fruit” • Lock operational information • Water levels, met/hydro observations and forecasts • Establish a RIS Center • Public-private partnership • Personnel * Session 3B, Weds 11:00 am, Room 120
