G-NEXT PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
PRE-OPERATIONAL COPERNICUS SERVICES IN SUPPORT OF EU EXTERNAL ACTIONS
G-NEXT, a Copernicus research and development project in the area of Space-based services for Security applications, is developing services for the monitoring of operations and the provision of situational awareness and intelligence in support of EU External Actions.
This product portfolio highlights the services addressed by the G-NEXT project. Namely:
> Reference Maps > Road Network Status Assessments > Conflict Damage Assessments > Critical Infrastructure Analyses > Support to Evacuation Plans > Crisis Situation Maps > Border Maps > Camp Analyses > Camp Monitoring Analyses > Activity Reports
The services are categorised into the three main areas of application to which they refer: Political or Armed Conflicts, Situational Awareness, and Border Survey.
G-NEXT started in January 2013 and will end in March 2015. It is coordinated by e-Geos and co-funded by the European Commission’s Research Executive Agency under the Seventh Framework Programme. Fifteen partners are involved in the project representing industrial service providers, institutional stakeholders, the research sector, SMEs and academia.
Project Coordinator: Francesca [email protected]
Service Coordinator: European Union Satellite [email protected]
Project website: http://externalaction.security-copernicus.eu/
The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) under grant agreement nº 312703.

FINAL STEPS BEFORE TRANSITION TO OPERATIONS
G -NEXT aims to support the transition of the Copernicus services for Security applications in support of EU External Actions from a pre-operational to a fully
operational configuration.
In particular, G-NEXT will supply information and intelligence data to support the operations of the European External Action Service (EEAS), including mapping and geo-information products ready for use in emergency and crisis situations. Users should be able to integrate the services provided by G-NEXT into their working environments in an effective and reliable manner.
The G-NEXT services provide strategic assistance to the EU Support to External Action Security stakeholders through the provision of Earth Observation (EO) based information. Their main attribute is the mode (rush, non-rush, monitoring) referring to the timeliness of service delivery.
G-NEXT addresses three domains of applications:
POLITICAL OR
ARMED CONFLICTS
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
BORDER SURVEY
Project Coordinator: e-GEOS, ItalyEstimated total cost: € 5,981,822.61 (EC contribution € 4,000,000.00)

TOPOGRAPHIC/CADASTRAL INFORMATION
If available, topographic or cadastral map layers are used as background layers for the maps.
ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIESDifferent levels of administrative boundaries are available within this layer, ranging from national borders to provincial or departmental level. This layer is a reference geo-information layer which is taken from freely available sources.
LAND USE/LAND COVER
The use of land in the area, including all the natural features (or those modified by humans, such as agricultural areas). Derived either manually, semi-automatically or automatically from satellite imagery. Different methods can be used such as pixel-based or object-based approaches. The result shows the main types of land use/land cover in the study area. Changes in land use/land cover can be detected by comparing the same area at different points in time.
HYDROGRAPHYThe river network and standing water. This layer is derived either by visual interpretation from satellite imagery, by semi-automatic methods or taken from freely available sources.
ROAD NE T WORKThe street layer, obtained from a reliable source or from an open source and then corrected in-house with the available imagery, or derived from digitisation, showing, where applicable, different categories (e.g. primary route, cart track, etc.).
BUILT UP AREASThis layer shows populated places (cities, villages, buildings, houses, etc). I t is used for population mapping, in combination with change detection information, and includes the ability to count buildings.
POINTS OF INTEREST
Obtained from Users, satellite imagery or other, freely accessible sources, as well as other GMES/Copernicus services. The points of interest are used as reference information inside the area and can show locations such as government buildings, hospital, NGO offices, hotels, sport facilities, etc. Sample of geographic reference maps.

DAMAGE ASSESSMENT
Derived from the imagery and the change detection layer. I t represents the distribution of damage in the area. Generated manually, it can be used to quantify the number of damaged buildings, and assess the impact on infrastructure, industry production, and any areas of agricultural land.
The Conflict Damage Assessment service (delivered in rush mode) develops change
detection maps by providing visual interpretation containing information on the road network and the distribution of damage in a crisis area. In urban areas, the urban blocks will be colour-coded to show the extent of the damage. In dispersed areas, a heat map will be used to represent the damage, with different colours to highlight how badly different sections of each area have been affected.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS
G-NEXT PRODUCT PORTFOLIO PAGE 8
PRE-OPERATIONAL PRODUCTS
Various elements can be considered as critical infrastructure, but in general these are
defined as man-made or natural structures of which the disruption, destruction or alteration may have a severe impact on the security of States and citizens. The service (delivered both in rush and non-rush mode) will identify the most relevant components of an infrastructure (e.g. power plants, industrial sites) considered to be critical, and assess their operational status. The objective is to identify the elements that make the infrastructure critical in any given crisis.

If available, topographic or cadastral map layers are used as a background layer for the maps.
ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIESDifferent levels of administrative boundaries are available within this layer, ranging from national borders to provincial or departmental level. This layer provides referenced geoinformation which is taken from freely available sources.
BUILT UP AREASThis layer shows populated places (cities, villages, buildings, houses, etc). I t is used for population mapping, in combination with change detection information, and includes the ability to count buildings.
DWELLINGSThis is a detailed layer where, for a particular location, the number of dwellings is extracted and used to derive figures on population growth.
IDP CAMPS
In this layer information about IDP camps is provided, such as the location of the camp and, if more detailed information about the camp is required, the location of tents and houses. Derived from imagery, it consists of a layer of points representing the locations where a displaced population is gathering. Settlements are derived automatically and/or by visual interpretation from satellite imagery and, if available, non-EO data are labeled accordingly.
POPULATION
Obtained from sources such as LandScan (commercial 1km raster population distribution dataset), census data or derived from satellite data (buildings/ tents plus information about estimated number of people living in each building). I t can be used in combination with the damage assessment to measure the impact on the population.
* THE TIME OF DELIVERY DEPENDS ON THE AREA OF INTEREST AND PURPOSE. THE FINAL ASSESSMENT OF THE DELIVERY TIME IS CONDUCTED IN THE PRODUCT DESIGN PHASE.** USERS CAN CHOOSE WHICH LAYERS OF INFORMATION TO INCLUDE IN THE FINAL PRODUCT. THEREFORE, THE ABOVE LIST IS NOT BINDING.

The Activity Report, which is delivered in text format on the basis of pre- and post-event
imagery, is available for all three application domains and provides an explanation of the possible changes detected at different points in time.
ICONS LAYERS OF INFORMATION** INFORMATION CONTENT
CHANGE DETECTION LAYER
This layer provides information on changes that can be detected by comparing two or more satellite images. Generated either automatically or manually, and derived from radar or optical imagery (depending on availability). It can be used to reduce the time taken to analyse damage or road status. It can also be used for multi-temporal analysis, and in particular for population monitoring.
ROAD NETWORKThe street layer, obtained from a reliable source or from an open source and then corrected in-house with the available imagery, or derived from digitisation, showing, where applicable, different categories (e.g. primary route, cart track, etc.).
POINTS OF INTERESTObtained from Users, satellite imagery or other, freely accessible sources, as well as other GMES/Copernicus services. The points of interest are used as reference information inside the area and can show locations such as government buildings, hospital, NGO offices, hotels, sports facilities, etc.
CONFLIC T INFORMATION Information on conflict events are mapped over time and compared to other features derived from EO and non-EO sources (e.g. mining sites).
On the right, sample of images and prod-ucts that formed part of an Actvity Report
