Book excerpt: With the considerable advances made in the quality of sensors on board commercial observation satellites, information gained from them not only became widely available, but very useful for the verification of a number of arms control treaties including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (the NPT). Satellites have begun to play an important role in the safeguards procedures under the NPT. For example, from satellites, nuclear facilities and activities such as the construction and shapes of buildings (including underground activities), plant expansion, and changes in operational status can be monitored. For an effective use of satellite imagery, it is important to determine identifiable signatures related to nuclear facilities that could be used in the interpretation and verification of activities. The book presents studies on visual and computer-based interpretation of remote sensing data for international safeguards purposes.

Book excerpt: This will be the first book that deals with the use of commercial satellite imagery to monitor non-proliferation of nuclear weapons non-intrusively from space by an international organisation. The book deals with both the technical as well as policy issues related to the nuclear weapons non-proliferation issues. The authors discuss how an international organisation such as the International Atomic Energy Agency can use information derived from satellites to enhance its policing task.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1990s saw significant developments in the global non-proliferation landscape, resulting in a new period of safeguards development. The current publication, which is the second revision and update of IAEA/NVS/1, is intended to give a full and balanced description of the safeguards techniques and equipment used for nuclear material accountancy, containment and surveillance measures, environmental sampling, and data security. New features include a section on new and novel technologies. As new verification measures continue to be developed, the material in this book will be reviewed periodically and updated versions issued.

Book excerpt: The rapidly improving quality and availability of commercial satellite imagery will soon enable any state to collect detailed and comprehensive imagery intelligence of its neighbors. If harnessed into multinational bodies such as regional satellite monitoring agencies, this capability can be used positively to promote transparency and confidence-building measures. The Middle East as a whole, and the Gulf in particular, at present lack an effective confidence-building measures regime and the means to promote greater transparency. In the Middle East, the multilateral Arms Control and Regional Security talks have stalled while in the Gulf, no stable security system has been established since the end of the 1991 Gulf War. Instead, the US-led policy of dual containment is extending a temporary security umbrella over a fundamentally unstable region. There is a pressing need for enhanced security cooperation and for the construction of a more inclusive, intra-regional cooperative security regime. This must include confidence-building measures and transparency as initial steps. This monologue makes the case for the establishment of a Gulf Satellite Center which, run on a multilateral basis and using commercially available imagery and techniques, could have a dramatic effect in improving intra-regional transparency. The satellite center could be modeled on the Western European Union's Satellite Center and would have similar roles, including arms control verification, crisis monitoring and environmental monitoring. It could also assist in border security and maritime policing tasks.
