Aeronautical Safety of Navigation - The Present and the Future Fran Early 15 June 2011 CNS/ATM Conference 314-676-9114
NGA = Safety of Flight
NGA and Geospatial Intelligence NGA Mission To provide timely, relevant, and accurate GEOINT in support of national security Definition of GEOINT: The exploitation and analysis of imagery and geospatial information to describe, assess, and visually depict physical features and geographically referenced activities on the Earth. GEOINT consists of imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information. Airfield Feature Data Safety of Navigation Vertical Obstructions

NGA Aeronautical Initiatives Vertical Obstructions are the Services #1 safety requirement NGA is attacking this problem vigorously! Define the VO Strategy Milestones, Objectives, and Goals Finalize VO Specification for Co-Production and Data Exchange Expanding relationships with trusted partners is paramount We can no longer work in a vacuum! Building relationships with National System for GEOINT (NSG) and Allied System for GEOINT (ASG) Data sharing, burden sharing and co-production leverage best practices and shrinking resources Global Navigation System Aeronautical (GNS-A) is the future We are building a data architecture for the future! Enhance machine-to-machine data transfer Minimize source data entry errors Aeronautical Safety of Navigation is everybody s business; we must work issues together! 17
