NGS Helps Corps of Engineers Prepare for NSRS Modernization

NGS staff updated the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on modernizing the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). The USACE relies on accurate geospatial information referenced to the proper datum to accomplish its mission. Updates like these are part of a broader NGS effort to engage federal partners in understanding the benefits of modernizing the NSRS, and to prepare these partners for the changes it will bring to geospatial professions. All federal civilian agencies that manage geographic data will be required to use the modernized coordinate reference frames when they are adopted as part of the NSRS in 2022.
