a. Security protection in the form of escort patrols for their own survey parties.
b. Radio communications between survey teams and their respective security forces' headquarters •
15. Each side will extend to the other clearance for transport aircraft to land on helicopter pads or air strips in their respective country, whenever
necessary. Request for such clearance will be made through the respective Project Manager.
16. Each side will made the necessary arrangements in respect of the immigration clearance for the entry of members of the survey teams of the other side into the
survey areas in the course of their duties.
17. Each side will make the necessary arrangements for the other in respect of customs clearance, including
exemption from import duties and such other duties by taking into account their respective customs
regulations for equipment, materials, that are required for the execution of the survey.
18. The Joint Technical (Sub) Committee will meet at least once a year for the duration of the Projects to review and discuss problems, progress and future of the
Projects. The meeting will be held alternately in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, at either Merauke or Jayapura in Indonesia or Vanimo or Daru in Papua New Guinea.
19. This Memorandum of Understanding may be revised at the request of either country by mutual agreement.
20. This Memorandum of Understanding will come into effect when signed by a representative of each country.

ANNEX
PROCEDURES FOR THE .SURVEY AND DEMARCATION OF TEE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE REPUELIC, OF INDONESIA
AND . PA.PUA .. NEW GUINEA
SC.OPE _OF OP_ERATIONS
1. Survey and demarcation of the boundary will be
conducted concurrently by survey teams of Indonesia
and Papua New Guinea.
2. The scope of operations will consist of the following
activities:
(a) Study of all aerial photographs, satellite
imagery and maps to determine the probable
location of the boundary. If necessary, new
aerial photographs will be taken.
(b) Investigation of the existing boundary monuments
and auxiliary astro stations (BAS and TA) as
determined by the Joint Indonesia Australia
Border Survey in 1966 and 1967.
(c) Establishment of new boundary monuments to
replace existing boundary monuments if they are missing or in danger of being lost. The new
boundary monuments will be placed on the
meridian through the old positions and not more
than 1 kilometer distant from the positions •
(d) Establishment of new boundary monuments at
specified sites on the geodesic line between the existing boundary monuments or their
replacements by Doppler satellite observations at the auxiliary stations and traversing from
these stations. The proposed general location of these is indicated in Appendix D.
MONUMENTATION
1. There are two types of monuments to be used, namely:
(a) Type A as per Appendix A, will be used for
auxiliary stations close to the correct position of new boundary monuments to be established.
(b) Type B as per Appendix B, will be used for new boundary monuments or the replacement of
existing monuments.
2. Suitable permanent recovery marks will be planted within 200 metres of every type A or type B monument.
DATUM
Consistent with the existing boundary monuments, the final co-ordinates of the new boundary monuments will be on both astronomic datum (geoid) and WGS-72 •
4
-(ii) Papua New Guinea will translocate to existing border monuments.
(iii) Papua New Guinea will locate intermediate auxiliary stations by translocation.
(iv) Indonesia to locate existing stations and auxiliary stations by point position
techniques with 40 passes.
(v) If the co-ordinates of the auxiliary
stations as determined by Papua New Guinea by translocation do not differ from those determined by Indonesia by point
positioning by more than 10 metres, the Papua New Guinea co-ordinates will be adopted.
(vi) The border point may then be laid in so as to lay on the geodesic joining the two adjacent existing markers.
(vii) Indonesia will then subsequently calculate transformation parameters to the local geoid determined by relation to the old astronomical co-ordinates and the WGS - 72 co-ordinates. Indonesia will then
calculate the position of the new border point in the terms of the local geoid.
(viii) If the longitudes as determined by either side are within 2 seconds of arc of the positions as determined by the other they will be accepted.
(ix) If they are not within 2 seconds of arc, the Joint Technical (Sub) Committee will reconvene to consider the differences.
(d) Spot photography.
Each monument will be photographed from
altitudes of 1000 ft and 3000 ft respectively. In case those monuments are established in
featureless environment, additional photography has to be taken from a higher altitude, not less than 7000 ft.
(e) Description of monuments.
The elements of station description of each monument are;
Monument number and name of place Preliminary and final co-ordinates Description of access to station and topographic sketch of its location and environment
Recovery marks and diagram
Photographic views from North, East, West and South.
2. Standards of accuracy.
(a) Doppler satellite observations.
With the view of simultaneously obtaining the necessary accuracies for Project I and II
respectively, 40 acceptable passes are required at each station.
This will give an expected absolute ac curacy of
10 metres.
6
-(b) Traverse.
Position closure after azimuth adjustment will be in the order of 1 5, 000.
(c) Local azimuth will be determined astronomically or by gyro observation to the nearest 20 seconds of arc.
