... Summary | 1 Summary Leveraging NextGen Spatial Data to Benefit Airports NextGen began in December 2003 with the Vision 100 Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act. Its goals were "to take advantage of data from emerging ground-based and space-based communications, navigation, and surveillance technologies; and to integrate data streams from multiple agencies and sources to enable situational awareness and seamless global operations for all appropriate users of the system." Airports play a critical role in achieving these goals.

... 2 | LEVERAGING NEXTGEN SPATIAL DATA TO BENEFIT AIRPORTS The main project objectives for ACRP Project 09-12 are to document the benefits that can be derived from spatial data collected in support of the FAA's NextGen effort, how NextGen programs use this data, and how airports can maximize the use of this data. Although NextGen affects the entire national airspace system (NAS)

... Summary | 3 Recommendations and Suggested Research • An in-depth study of the spatial data needs for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) planning and operations, as well as ways in which GIS can support UAS, is suggested.
