Opportunity Scan:

• Work more closely with Military & Homeland Security – link with UH ARL

• Leverage presence of PMRF for space launch

• Leverage Big Science capability at UH to build more application oriented & engineering opportunities • Leverage pool of Hawaii born aerospace employees on West Coast

• Better develop relations with other Fed. Agencies e.g. NASA to enhance infrastructure

• Generate specific education & training programs for aerospace activities in Hawaii [ 3 ]

HAWAIIAEROSPACESUMMIT

Some Specific High Investment Opportunities

• Develop applications (civilian / military/ security) for evolving drone platforms– e.g. instrumentation, communication, deployment, and control

• Develop small and micro satellite capability (assumes launch capability) & assist third parties complete work on satellites around Hawaii launch

•Develop launch capability for more commercial exploitation (cheap and very cheap) – e.g. UH Manoa HSFL SOEST/Engineering project

R&D Space Focused Science and Engineering Research Opportunities

• Small Satellites for environmental (earth systems) monitoring applications

• Small Satellites for Military & Homeland Security applications • Planetary exploration

• Applications of astronomical technology (for near earth observing)

• Space debris

• Constellations of (smaller) satellites

The future of aerospace and aviation has an address: Hawai`i Island.

• Assets Inventory – Physical Attributes including size, geography,

weather– Robust clean, renewable energy portfolio– Critical mass of astronomy and related

technologies– Emerging technologies, education, and industries

Hawai`i Island, Island of Opportunity

Hawai`i Island, the BIG ISLAND

Assets Inventory: Facilities and Infrastructure

including two major airports

• Kona International at Keahole Airport has an asphalt runway, 17/35, 11,000 by 150 feet. (Compare to New Mexico’s Spaceport America runway 10,000 feet by 200 feet.) – Kona Airport's master plan, completed in 2010, calls for

a second runway while keeping the option to extend the airport's primary runway to 12,000 feet if required.

• Hilo International Airport runways include 8/26 which is 9,800 by 150 feet.
