WNI's “Kotodukuri”The 1st ”Kotodukuri” challenge using nano-satellite was introduced last nano-satellitesymposium. WNISAT-1 has polar routeingsupport mission and CO2 monitoring mission.
The 2nd “Kotodukuri” challenge using nano-satellites constellation is today's topic.WNI and shipping companies and other relatedorganizations will try to realize real time anti-piracy routeing.

Backgroud of Anti-piracy• Increase of recent Somalia pirates incidents.
• Not only for shipping companies but also for ourselves.
• Not only for Japan but also for Asian countries and Europian countries. For global safety and stability.

Present anti-piracy routeing
• To avoid from piracy reported area minimum 100nm at least until 48hrs passed.
• Information sources are IMB reports and company's ship reports.
• Information sharing has just started.
TFMS Forum in Japan 2011
WNI challenge to anti-piracy routeing• To cooperate with shipping companies.
• To collaborate with the out of box thinking
company AXELSPACE for satellites development.
TFMS Forum in Japan 2011
Mission Objectives•Shipping companies and WNI will continue to
monitor mother ships of pirates for avoiding
hazardous 100nm area from them.
•Hiden auto reporting function will not allow to use
hijacked ship as their mother ship.

How to avoid piracy
1) Search suspicious shipby using radar.
2) Gathering suspiciousinformation by WNISAT-2.
4) Making optimum route planto avoid pirates.
3) Synthesizing information and broadcasting to fellow ships.

Ship based existing technologies
Radar: To search suspicious ships.
GPS: Positioning base.AIS: Reference information of analysis.
Radar GPS AIS

Mission specific satellites
• To provide highly secured communication.
• To synthesize suspicious ships information
into piracy potential map.

Satellites constellation• 7 satellites will be located on the 800km height
equatorial orbit equally spaced.
• To avoid Van Allen radiation belt effects.

Ground station• Ground station should be located in equatorial
area.

Launch• We will use an exclusive launcher for seven
satellites simultainious launch.
• It seems to be difficult to find out seven launch opprtunities into the same orbit.

Schedule
• Phase 1: We already had started to share information between shipping companies.
• Phase 2: To realize realtime information sharing, we will use existing communication links.
• Phase3: Today's introduced approach.

Key for Success
• More and more participants will bring fruitful results; container carrier, bulk carrier, PCTC, tanker, and fishing boat, etc.
• Collaboration with other maritime organizations; guardian ship, IMB, ReCAAP, etc.
