NGS Test Facility Supports U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

The NGS Testing & Training Center, located near Fredericksburg, VA, hosted a team from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to test the Corps' navigational buoy transceivers. USACE used the facility's grounds to mimic water channels in order to better understand how far buoy-mounted transceivers can communicate with each other at varying power levels and heights above water level. The test results will ultimately be shared with the U.S. Coast Guard and NOAA's Office of Coast Survey.
