Challenges for Satellite Applications
The industrial community identified two “valleys of death” where good ideas fail to become commercial successes:• “Failure to industrialise” Technologies where high entry barriers make demonstration and proving the new technology impossible
• “Failure to commercialise” Applications where access to space derived services or data is limited or distracts from focus on customer requirements

Traffic Management Markets
Space technologies are fundamental within all areas of traffic management: Satellite communication services provide
seamless connectivity between aircraft and vessels with traffic control centres.
Satellite navigation provides global, real-time position, velocity and timing information for all modes of transport.
EO services can deliver timely information on transport infrastructures and routes, weather and emissions.
The UK has industrial strength and interest in all areas. The key challenge is to optimise the utilisation
of the existing transport networks through better use of satellite-based services.
Natural Resources Management MarketsThe UK has strong capability in the development and use of EO satellite systems capable of making the unique measurements required for precision farming and in monitoring forest degradation. Commercial precision agriculture Climate change
GNSS and satcom are used in fisheries to provide vessel monitoring services.
A current challenge is to exploit GNSS potential to support tidal and wave energy.
Disaster Prevention and Relief
Satellite applications have the potential to dramatically influence the ability of international communities to predict and respond to natural disasters.
Markets exist in the public sector and also in the private sector, providing valuable information to the insurance community - New GNSS signals and services will spark new applications in assurance and liability (insurance sector).
Key challenges include the sporadic nature of the requirements and then the conflicting demands for communications by multiple sectors in response to disaster situations.
Security and Civil Protection Markets
Particular application areas, such as maritime surveillance and border control, offer good opportunities for the exploitation of data from current and future enhanced EO and communications systems.
Applications exist within civil protection, law enforcement, border control, critical national infrastructure, rescue forces and emergency services for exploiting the Galileo Public Regulated Service (PRS) as well as satellite comms.
Challenges include: Difficulty of market access Partnership requirements between satellite community and
downstream industry in the various sectors Engagement with global institutions and realisation of the
potential and capability of satellite EO Inter-networking of existing communication systems National licensing and procurement regimes for civil sector
comms services such as Tetra networks.
