Part lll : Issues on GNSS Downstream Industries


1) Downstream industry areas have to be clustered. 2) The constraint: Financial aspect and lack of expertise for space infrastructures development. RMK-9 (RM235 mil) 3) The need to focus on development of a specific/small scopes such as hardware, components, electronic parts, and etc. 4) Highlight on certain aspect and issues include existing policies, regulations, act, guideline and etc to stimulate technology advancement.

Part lll : Issues on GNSS Downstream Industries Space Programme Funding


1) INDIA Indian Space Programme 2006-2007 ~ USD 0.61 bil. (annual increased ~ 10%) 2) CHINA annual development budget from 2001-2005 ~ USD161 mil. 3) JAPAN - ~ in 2008 approx. USD 2.85 bil. 4) SOUTH KOREA in 2008 ~ USD 300 mil. with annual increase up to 4%

5) MALAYSIA RMK-9 ~ USD64 mil (RM235j).RMK-10 ????

Recommendation
Certain industry with higher demands should more aggressive to support consumer needs (example: topographic maps). A continuous supply will create market. Government should coordinate series of space program to compete with international markets and development which is beneficial to the Malaysia, South East Asia, Equator, etc. Incubator product to be commercialized intensively. Allocation of grants and funds to the young researchers and graduates to cultivate new players. Collaboration and cooperation between government and Industries should be tightened.

Conclusion
Most of the local users still in doubt about the usage and important of GNSS/RS technologies even though its existence almost 20 years in Malaysia. Lack of funding allocations and local expertise are the main constraints to bind the industry from growing. The needs of ongoing updates (database) on the downstream industry players. Strategic collaboration between government industry The needs to create awareness and understanding of GNSS usage to the public to promote market growth.
