Developing a roadmap : use of space 2015-2020
Working closely with the end user set the vision e.g.
By 2020 satellite data are playing an indispensable role in policy
development and operations across the Defra network
• Consult widely - raising awareness of opportunities
• Articulate strategic and specific requirements
• Match needs to satellite enabled services
• Prioritise – on benefits / feasibility / cost savings
• Develop action plan to realise vision and unlock barrier to operation (inc
research, policy change, operational change, demo, business case)
• Monitor progress, develop innovative ideas
