A Vision for an Exchangeable Ux S Mission

Why OGC? • Good balance of Government, Research, and Industry membership • “Making Location Count: ” all missions are tied to location • Open-minded enough to realize that not everything needs to be invented in the OGC, so let’s leverage the best ideas in the domains OGC ® Copyright © 2017 Open Geospatial Consortium

Standards must… Enable business Offer value Preserve the Secret Sauce OGC ® Copyright © 2017 Open Geospatial Consortium
What needs to be considered • • Modality of operation (fly, swim, or drive) Single unit or swarm Starting point Ending point Mission extent (point, line/curve, area) Mission type (observe, collect, engage, etc. ) Operational constraints (speed, altitude range, water depth range, weight or size constraints) • Mission and Sensor-specific parameters (specific also to the modality of operation) OGC ® Copyright © 2017 Open Geospatial Consortium
Build big and don’t go home • Encapsulate the major parameters for ALL types of unpersoned/uninhabited systems into a foundational standard • Profile that standard for each mode of operation OGC ® Copyright © 2017 Open Geospatial Consortium
Components and references in a standard Geometry - WKT Simple Features GML KML Geo. JSON CSV Coordinate Reference Systems - Support EPSG Mandatory “WGS 84” and “Web Mercator” to accommodate hobbyist hardware? Modality/Mobility - Environment (fly, swim, drive) Remote-control vs. autonomous Full movement control vs. environmental control (e. g. , balloons and free-floating buoys) OGC Sensors - ® Copyright © 2017 Open Geospatial Consortium Active vs. Passive vs. none SWE Sensor. Things PUCK Other standards?
Preserve the secret sauce • Example for aerial photography: allow the operations software to make the following decisions – Weather: wind vs. fixed- or rotary-wing device; wind vs. flight pattern – Sensor characteristics: flight altitude and speed – Stereoscopic collect: overlap and sidelap – Power: number of flights to cover area • Enable exchange of enough information to always allow the operations software to execute the mission, but not so much information as to inhibit the competitive advantage any operations software might claim OGC ® Copyright © 2017 Open Geospatial Consortium
