It's a conversation about augmentation.

Table 5 Base and augmentation structures, 2006 2007

I'm talking about J.C.R. Licklider's human computer symbiosis, perhaps better termed intelligence augmentation, I.A.

(b) Augmentation of conventional satellite programmes, such as additional capability, redundancy for critical missions, or replacement of a failed instrument

As a result, women's aquaculture, horticulture and animal husbandry activities, which are often their only source of income augmentation, are jeopardized.

This augmentation has enabled the Department to devote sustained and focused attention to pressing security needs in a number of areas.

ISS is also designed to allow for future shield augmentation if the threat increases or if the life of the station is extended.

You already begin to see the development of foreign policies, the augmentation of military budgets occurring in the other growing powers in the world.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) a system which improves integrity, accuracy and availability of GPS for civil aviation in Japan.

The Governing Council was exploring ways to ensure adequate, stable and predictable financing for UNEP, including augmentation of the contribution of the regular budget.

For the 2006 2007 biennium, UNDP will build its country office capacity by using the same base and augmentation approach approved for the 2004 2005 biennium.

The strategy involved personnel augmentation and provision of adequate logistical support, mobility and communication for areas where the balance of lands to be distributed remained high.

Furthermore, ICAO is developing provisions for ground and satellite based augmentation systems for GPS GLONASS to improve their overall availability, integrity and accuracy for aeronautical applications.

And I understood that building really could be the augmentation of the Earth's surface, and it completely shifted the notion of building ground in the most basic sense.

The current budget further advances this objective by revisiting the base structure for headquarters and proposing a gradual shift toward a proportionate funding modality for UNDP augmentation requirements.

This has been achieved by identifying the portion of headquarters budgetary requirements that could be considered as augmentation and therefore, subject to proportional funding between regular and other resources.

In the prevailing environment, UNAMI operates from the international zone, supported by the Logistics Civil Augmentation Programme (LOGCAP), under the provisions of the agreement, as the only viable means of receiving uninterrupted life support.

A first step in the programme was the development of the European geostationary navigation overlay service, a European regional augmentation to GPS and the Global Orbiting Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) of the Russian Federation.

Beyond the initiatives aimed at shelter and other basic needs, the wider aspects of employment generation, income augmentation and entrepreneurial development through micro enterprises will be integrated as key elements in the strategic mix.

Given the prevailing security situation and the limitations on establishing self sufficiency in certain areas, UNAMI will, in the near future, continue to rely on the resources of the Logistics Civil Augmentation Programme (LOGCAP) of the Multinational Force.

Takes note of the proposed base structure and augmentation capacity distribution for both headquarters and country offices, and urges the Administrator to continue to progressively realign the funding modality of UNDP support requirements towards proportional cost sharing between regular and other resources

11. Invites Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and augmentation providers to consider establishing an international committee on GNSS as proposed in the Plan of ActionIbid., para. 267. in order to maximize the benefits of the use and applications of GNSS to support sustainable development

Table 5 presents a breakdown of the base structure and augmentation requirements at headquarters, country offices, United Nations Volunteers and IAPSO as well as at global and regional levels, together with the resource shift from regular resources to other resources (referred to as proportionality shift), as proposed for 2006 2007.

Following adoption of the initial set of standards and recommended practices for GNSS, ICAO is developing similar standards and recommended practices for ground based regional augmentation systems and for new GNSS elements such as the modernized Global Positioning System of the United States, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) of the Russian Federation and the European Galileo system.

In Iraq more than 300 government staff members have been trained recently in areas ranging from environmental impact and contaminated site assessments, to multilateral environmental agreements, biodiversity and remote sensing The UNEP International Environmental Technology Centre is undertaking a capacity building and technology support project in Viet Nam on resource augmentation, based on environmentally sound technologies.

Major research and development projects undertaken in those areas are as follows automatic dependence surveillance, a system that gives pseudo radar images to air traffic controllers by using aircraft derived position data transmitted through a satellite data link and the wide area augmentation system, a system that improves the integrity, accuracy and availability of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for civil aviation in Japan

Data corrections could then be uniformly applied using the newly available European Satellite Navigation System European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (Galileo EGNOS) or the Navigation Satellite Timing and Ranging (Navstar) wide area augmentation system (WAAS) data, which will lead to very accurate and valuable ground truth data that is needed to improve other geographical data used by United Nations entities in the same operational areas.

71. The 1997 Source Book of Alternative Technologies for Freshwater Augmentation was prepared by the Unit of Sustainable Development and Environment of the General Secretariat of OAS, as part of a joint UNEP Water Branch and International Environmental Technology Centre effort, with the purpose of providing water resource managers and planners with information on used technologies, especially in developing countries and economies in transition.

43. Notes with satisfaction the progress made, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 59 2, by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and augmentation system providers to establish an international committee on GNSS and by the ad hoc expert group established to study the possibility of creating an international entity to provide for coordination and the means of realistically optimizing the effectiveness of space based services for use in disaster management
