Can bits Search and Rescue? KNRM SESSION – ESA IBIC – FEBRUARY 5, 2014 CARLO HUKEMA, NAVAL IT ARCHITECT Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij KNRM SAR Innovation program • For those who don’t know … KNRM (aka) Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institute (that reveals her mission) • The general question: ‘How can we search better and rescue more people?’ – What kind of material, vessels, equipment? – What education and competences? – How can you make volunteers perform as high maritime professionals? • Spin off by building the lifeboat of the future … called ‘Nh1816’ (as we always say: the difference between Search and Rescue and ReSearch is in the cue; not how but when!) Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | 2 KNRM SAR Innovation program • Although still a vessel, this one is different – Involvement of top of the best scientist, designers and builders – Result is a new hull, based on AXE-bow principle – Better performance (manoeuverability and course – vertical fins) – Designed and build on proven principles of safety (self-righting & speed) – Adding of a new principle of safety “Information” – More comfort and silence for the crew – Result is a vessel • radical hull aluminum build, wheelhouse GRP (flexible) • with an electronics and cable density of a average satellite (IT) Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | 3 LIFEBOAT NH1816 CAPACITY TO SAVE 120 PEOPLE Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | 4 LIFEBOAT NH1816 SAILING AT 30 KNOTS + Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | 5 LIFEBOAT NH1816 ALL WHEATER, NL SAR AREA Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | 6 The golden triangle: KNRM vision on safety … Self-righting Speed Information check check Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij ??? | Hier footer invullen 8 Redundancy of information … • Design principle of the vessel: Redundancy • Two is always better then one! • Adopt this idea also for information!? • Yes, because experiences has learned us that information is not always available or reliable! Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | Hier footer invullen 9 Availability of information … • Design principle of the vessel: (High-)Availability • On the shore is everything, on the sea nothing, no commercial interest for building an information infrastructure (classical satellite approach) • And even when you can receive it how do you present it? Small vessel market is years behind on what is possible now a days • And even when you can receive and present it? How is it being interpreted by the crew (volunteers and maritime professional information) Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | Hier footer invullen 10 The KNRM Nh1816 Challenge … • How can you exchange data between a small vessel and the shore and other vessels (don’t do it … don’t say it … ) • How can data available on the shore helping the crew during a mission? – Search and Rescue search patterns – Information of persons, objects, vessels, etc. – Information of floating objects, ice, danger – Information wheater and sea conditions like meteo and wave heights • How can other data, f.i. available by satellites, help us? – The lack of the Global Position System and the search for additionals Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | Hier footer invullen 11 The KNRM Nh1816 Practice and Exploration… • Primary information needed to sail the vessel is available on board – Infrastructure is fully redundant, most information categories too – All navigation equipment is connected to at least two different sources • GPS - ? eLoran • Two idependant radar installations • Several VHF and radio installations • No MF but Iridium and Fleetbroadband 250 as future vision • Least cost routing principles based on Wifi and 4G solutions Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | Hier footer invullen 12 The KNRM Nh1816 Practice and Exploration… • Okay but where does it becomes spooky and spacy for a SAR organisation? • The danger and worst fear: running with 30 knots into a half floating container – Obstacle Avoidance Sonar – but does not fit … • During thunderstorms often loosing GPS signal – A second GPS is not the solution, sadly Galileo still not operating … • No existing commercial arial equipment is suitable for the lifeboat environment. We can not effort Navy like SATCOM solutions Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | Hier footer invullen 13 The KNRM Nh1816 Future development… The dreams … • of an Infrastructure@Sea • the exchange of data with the SAR vessel and the advantages • of realtime audio and video between the vessel and the shore • that someday even satellite information can be available • that we are collecting information at the vessel which is from an value to shore parties • that we are unleashing the computing power on the shore for helping SAR Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | Hier footer invullen 14 The KNRM Nh1816 Future dreams… We believe that you can help us with making our dreams reality in the future … So zeroes and ones really can help Search and Rescue people! Koninklijke Nederlandse Redding Maatschappij | Hier footer invullen 15 The KNRM Nh1816 Discovery journey… AFTER BREAK SESSION Free format Can satellite zeroes and ones really help Search and Rescue people?
