FINAL STEPS BEFORE TRANSITION TO OPERATIONS

G -NEXT aims to support the transition of the Copernicus services for Security applications in support of EU External Actions from a pre-operational to a fully

operational configuration.

In particular, G-NEXT will supply information and intelligence data to support the operations of the European External Action Service (EEAS), including mapping and geo-information products ready for use in emergency and crisis situations. Users should be able to integrate the services provided by G-NEXT into their working environments in an effective and reliable manner.

The G-NEXT services provide strategic assistance to the EU Support to External Action Security stakeholders through the provision of Earth Observation (EO) based information. Their main attribute is the mode (rush, non-rush, monitoring) referring to the timeliness of service delivery.

G-NEXT addresses three domains of applications:

POLITICAL OR

ARMED CONFLICTS

TOPOGRAPHIC/CADASTRAL INFORMATION

If available, topographic or cadastral map layers are used as background layers for the maps.

ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIESDifferent levels of administrative boundaries are available within this layer, ranging from national borders to provincial or departmental level. This layer is a reference geo-information layer which is taken from freely available sources.

LAND USE/LAND COVER

The use of land in the area, including all the natural features (or those modified by humans, such as agricultural areas). Derived either manually, semi-automatically or automatically from satellite imagery. Different methods can be used such as pixel-based or object-based approaches. The result shows the main types of land use/land cover in the study area. Changes in land use/land cover can be detected by comparing the same area at different points in time.

HYDROGRAPHYThe river network and standing water. This layer is derived either by visual interpretation from satellite imagery, by semi-automatic methods or taken from freely available sources.

ROAD NE T WORKThe street layer, obtained from a reliable source or from an open source and then corrected in-house with the available imagery, or derived from digitisation, showing, where applicable, different categories (e.g. primary route, cart track, etc.).

BUILT UP AREASThis layer shows populated places (cities, villages, buildings, houses, etc). I t is used for population mapping, in combination with change detection information, and includes the ability to count buildings.

POINTS OF INTEREST

Obtained from Users, satellite imagery or other, freely accessible sources, as well as other GMES/Copernicus services. The points of interest are used as reference information inside the area and can show locations such as government buildings, hospital, NGO offices, hotels, sport facilities, etc. Sample of geographic reference maps.

* THE TIME OF DELIVERY DEPENDS ON THE AREA OF INTEREST AND PURPOSE. THE FINAL ASSESSMENT OF THE DELIVERY TIME IS CONDUCTED IN THE PRODUCT DESIGN PHASE.** USERS CAN CHOOSE WHICH LAYERS OF INFORMATION TO INCLUDE IN THE FINAL PRODUCT. THEREFORE, THE ABOVE LIST IS NOT BINDING.

The Road Network Status Assessment service (delivered both in rush and non-rush mode)

provides users with a map containing different kinds of information on the status of the road network. When delivered in rush mode, the product consists of a map of the road network together with information related to its status, including trafficability and road blocks. The service delivered in non-rush mode can provide additional information on the impact of periods of torrential rain on the road network, highlighting which roads are potentially prone to flooding. This information is designed to support the planning of logistical operations in the field.


ROAD NETWORKStreet layer, obtained from a reliable source or from an open source and then corrected in-house with the available imagery, or derived from digitisation, showing, where applicable, different categories (e.g. primary route, cart track, etc.).

ROAD NETWORK STATUS

Derived from the road network and the change detection. I t represents, in a graded scale of trafficability, the extent of the damage and any debris blocking the road, and should be used for road navigation in the city.

WET SEASON IMPACT (DELIVERED IN NON-RUSH MODE ONLY)

Combined with the Road Network, an analysis of the water flow and the topography of the terrain is made to identify the roads that are more prone to flooding during periods of heavy rain.

CONFLICT DAMAGE ASSESSMENT






DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

Derived from the imagery and the change detection layer. I t represents the distribution of damage in the area. Generated manually, it can be used to quantify the number of damaged buildings, and assess the impact on infrastructure, industry production, and any areas of agricultural land.

The Conflict Damage Assessment service (delivered in rush mode) develops change

detection maps by providing visual interpretation containing information on the road network and the distribution of damage in a crisis area. In urban areas, the urban blocks will be colour-coded to show the extent of the damage. In dispersed areas, a heat map will be used to represent the damage, with different colours to highlight how badly different sections of each area have been affected.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS



Various elements can be considered as critical infrastructure, but in general these are

defined as man-made or natural structures of which the disruption, destruction or alteration may have a severe impact on the security of States and citizens. The service (delivered both in rush and non-rush mode) will identify the most relevant components of an infrastructure (e.g. power plants, industrial sites) considered to be critical, and assess their operational status. The objective is to identify the elements that make the infrastructure critical in any given crisis.



CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTUREDerived from the critical infrastructure layer with the information obtained from the post-event imagery. This shows the operational status of the facilities in the critical infrastructure being analysed.

POINTS OF INTEREST

Obtained from Users, satellite imagery or other, freely accessible sources, as well as other GMES/Copernicus services. The points of interest are used as reference information inside the area and can show locations such as government buildings, hospital, NGO offices, hotels, sports facilities, etc.

CAMP MONITORING ANALYSIS



The Camp Monitoring Analysis service (delivered in non-rush and monitoring

mode) is essentially a Camp Analysis provided in monitoring mode. It involves monitoring the development and evolution of changes in population settlements during a crisis over a longer period of time, with increased numbers of images being acquired (as opposed to only a “snapshot” of changes between two points in time).



If available, topographic or cadastral map layers are used as a background layer for the maps.

ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIESDifferent levels of administrative boundaries are available within this layer, ranging from national borders to provincial or departmental level. This layer provides referenced geoinformation which is taken from freely available sources.


DWELLINGSThis is a detailed layer where, for a particular location, the number of dwellings is extracted and used to derive figures on population growth.

In this layer information about IDP camps is provided, such as the location of the camp and, if more detailed information about the camp is required, the location of tents and houses. Derived from imagery, it consists of a layer of points representing the locations where a displaced population is gathering. Settlements are derived automatically and/or by visual interpretation from satellite imagery and, if available, non-EO data are labeled accordingly.

ACTIVITY REPORT




The Activity Report, which is delivered in text format on the basis of pre- and post-event

imagery, is available for all three application domains and provides an explanation of the possible changes detected at different points in time.


CHANGE DETECTION LAYER

This layer provides information on changes that can be detected by comparing two or more satellite images. Generated either automatically or manually, and derived from radar or optical imagery (depending on availability). It can be used to reduce the time taken to analyse damage or road status. It can also be used for multi-temporal analysis, and in particular for population monitoring.

ROAD NETWORKThe street layer, obtained from a reliable source or from an open source and then corrected in-house with the available imagery, or derived from digitisation, showing, where applicable, different categories (e.g. primary route, cart track, etc.).

POINTS OF INTERESTObtained from Users, satellite imagery or other, freely accessible sources, as well as other GMES/Copernicus services. The points of interest are used as reference information inside the area and can show locations such as government buildings, hospital, NGO offices, hotels, sports facilities, etc.
