2. PRESENTATION OUTLINE Define UAV/drone, uses and evolution
Using UAV as a technology towards mapping and geospatial activities (GIS projects) in JUPEM
Governance initiative and policy regarding UAV
Drone management and practice as an emerging technology and method for surveillance, monitoring and natural resources and environment management
Some projects and data presentation
My outline focus on UAV definition and it uses in geospatial activity. Relevant policy is informed and some projects and data will be presented

3. definitions
According to Wiki, UAV or unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly known as drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard
Operated by the function of an automatic system or an external ground operator
Also known as unpiloted aerial vehicle and remotely piloted aircraft (RPA)
UAS – unmanned aerial system includes ground stations and other elements besides the actual aircraft
Drone is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. UAS includes ground stations and other elements

21. Why still an emerging technology?
Legislation and regulatory issues. Often, these are not clearly defined and may vary from country to country.
Airspace restrictions apply. Due to the lack of effective sense-and-avoid technologies often strict operating rules apply.
We have issue regarding guideline that should be governed within it, which include airspace restriction etc

22. There is a lack of clearly defined best-practices, guidelines, operating procedures, manufacturing standards, certifications, pilot training, safety features etc….
Whilst there is a plethora of pioneers in this field, many operate on the verge of legality or with poor operational standards.
No well defined best practice so far and thus standards of operation is not well guarded

23. Safety is paramount, for operators, pilots, engineers, workers etc….
In Europe UAV market has been huge covering different aspect of operation

26. What are the advantages of using a UAV?
UAV (or drone) technology and related commercial applications are growing worldwide.
Depending on the applications, UAVs can be deployed easily and cost-effectively, delivering up to date geospatial information real fast.
Rotary UAV’s can map in-side buildings as well as outside. (small UAV’s)
Because it is expanding globally, easily deployed, cost effective and fast

27. Aerial Photographs
In JUPEM, my organisation aerial photograph has been the prominent source of raw data for mapping. Many ways have been explored to achieve this data, including using UAV platform.
High quality aerial photographs are an integral part of our map revision
system, used to plot topographic features and heights.

28. Orthophoto Map
An orthophotograph is an aerial photograph that has been rectified such that it is equivalent to a map of the same scale.
Orthophotograph produced from aerial photography using UAV platform is a challenge to conventional aircraft flying due to some constraints
JUPEM produce high quality orthophotograph and delivered to client who need it. Currently, aerial photography using UAV platform is a challenge to conventional aircraft flying due to some constraints

32. UAV PROJECT
JUPEM top management approved procurement of UAV system (UAS) in 2012
Ebee/ Swiss/ TerraTek/ Fixed Wing
Pteryx Pro/ Poland/ AG/ Fixed Wing

33. objectives OF Project
To improve the capability of handling practical data capture via aerial photography which was critically hindered due to weather constraint, cloudy sky and high cost incurred
To intensify the updating and production of various scale topographical databases, utility mapping database and database for raster images
To assist in providing relevant source data Multi Purpose Cadastral (MPC) project
To support the management of geospatial product and GIS-ready dataset
To support the ministry and other agencies to carry out surveillance, monitoring, planning, emergency and safety alert program
Objective of project are to improve data capture technic, intensify updating and production of map, MPC purpose such as 3D city modelling, to increase GIS data content in the database, as well as to support any surveillance, monitoring, planning, emergency and safety alert program

34. IMPLEMENTATION STEPS TAKEN
Allotment of task and staff to implement UAS as well as large scale camera activities
Establishment of a special UAV unit in the Division of Geospatial Defense
DCA registration to carried out UAV flying task
Training and capacity building for UAS implementation
Pay and allowances for staff handling UAV project
Preparation of Guideline for Operational UAV according to UAV Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
The project seek to implement some steps and task focussing on staffing, establishing of UAV units, SOP, and guideline preparation

43. An orthophoto of Mersing town – from 399 still images over 3.72 sq.km
With GCP, and mosaiking an 399 still images as shown was produced that can be used for map updating.

44. map updating of previous Mersing town map using drone images

45. The new development area was digitised and integrated into the topographical database
A GIS-based data (vector) was overlayed on the orthopohoto captured in The red rectangle area is a new housing development.
The new development area on the image was digitised and merged into the existing topographical database. UAV seemed to be quite efficient to do town map updating with some tolerable errors.

48. CGSO agreed that Chief Secretary General of Malaysia signs the national circular
General Circular on Guideline for the Procedure of Using UAS for Imaging Activity in Malaysia
A circular under CGSO will be approved in the near future to be used by UAV operator apart from DCA’s guideline and policy. It is called General Circular on Guideline for the Procedure of Using UAS for Imaging Activity in Malaysia

49. The content of the guideline
Security background check for Pilot and Commander
Certification of Airworthiness
Requirement of UAS operation in Malaysia
Regulations and law and procedure for UAS
Illegal imaging on security area or prohibited target stated by the security authority
This guideline and circular comprises of several matters and ruling regarding accident, foreigner operation, international boundary and more others as shown.
International boundary encroachment
Report for UAV accident
UAS operation by foreigner

50. Conclusion
Drone usage has been enormous and drone services by private sector is expecting good business
Increased coverage surveillance by minimizing time delays in the event detection
Decreased in time in exploration, mapping (and updating) and other missions
Safety of objects and human on the ground is paramount
