FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Recap of 2014 Brief • • Listening Session Feedback Status of NAIS towers 32 e. ATON e. MSI Discussion 2

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Feedback Results Enhance Voyage Planning Electronic Geo-tagged pull of MSI for Voyage Planning Electronic based updating of charts and publications Leverage AIS broadcast for navigation and Marine Safety Info AIS- ATON, but proceed cautiously Push Notifications SMS/MMS messaging Email Integrated Mobile Application w/ MSI

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION United States Aids to Navigation System (USATONS) The primary objective of the USATONS is to mitigate transit risks to promote the safe, economic, and efficient movement of military, commercial, and other vessels by assisting navigators with determining their position, a safe course, and warning them of dangers and obstructions. ~USCG Aids to Navigation Manual, Administration Marine Safety Information The Coast Guard shall advise mariners of new hydrographic discoveries, changes in channels and navigational aids, and information concerning the safety of navigation. ~33 CFR 72 4

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Increased Demands: Traffic has become more congested More diverse users Larger Ships However, Channels have not been widened Bridge clearances have not been increased Coast Guard ATON services have remained stagnant Ø 26, 084 floating & 22, 162 fixed federal ATON 5

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Updated Requirements Updated Capabilities 6

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Improving Service Delivery • Modernize Delivery of Marine Safety Information • Incorporate AIS ATON into system design • Improve public notification of ATON changes and proposals. • Modernize physical ATON system – Waterway of the Future • Understand current user requirements for U. S. Aids to Navigation System (USATONS)

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Notifying Stakeholders • Notification of ATON proposals or changes: o Working with NAVSAC o Reaching out to stakeholders • What is the best way to reach users? • Change current policy to facilitate better outreach at Sector and District Levels. 11

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Waterway of the Future

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION USATONS Review • Engage stakeholders to determine ATON requirements and user needs : o East Coast Sea Coast System o West Coast Sea Coast System o Deep Water (Maintained and Not Maintained) o Shallow Water ( Maintained and Not Maintained) o ICW o WR (already being framed by WR QAT and JCTD) • Use WAMS like process and local stakeholder input to shape national level policy. Provide consistency. • Must haves…nice to haves 13

FUTURE OF NAVIGATION Timeline for East Coast Sea Coast System Review • • • Now-15 September: Engage w/National Stakeholders 15 September – 31 March: – Engage w/Regional Stakeholders (DPWs, Sector WW) – Gather Data (Feedback, NAIS, Environmental, USACE, etc) 1 April – 31 May: Analyze Data 1 April - 30 June: Validate Requirements with Stakeholders 1 June – 31 July: Draft Final Report 31 July – TBD: Conduct outreach on proposed changes/recommendations from final report 14
