4 Geo Reference System SC Primary Geo Ref will be LAT/LONG expressed in degrees, minutes, and decimal minutes Posi on (Point & Area) Reference Procedures: This plan is based upon the use of la tude/longitude expressed in degrees, minutes, and decimal minutes (example: N /W ). For purposes of this plan, World Geode c System 1984 (WGS 84) and North American Datum 1983 (NAD 83) are considered equivalent. SAR Grids will be defined using Global Area Reference System (GARS). Be cau ous in reading coordinates some users define points using degree, minutes and seconds. Although the error is usually small, it can mean the difference in a crisis response. Pay a en on and ask the ques on if you are unsure of the data you are receiving. NOTE: Ground units may pass informa on using Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) or Na onal Geode c Reference System coordinates. This data will need to be converted into la tude/ longitude for use by avia on assets.
