  1. “End-User” Experiences Accessing the NSRS Michael Baker International Stephen J. Clancy, PSM 2018 NSRS Modernization Industry Workshop May 7-8, 2018

  2. “End-User” Profile • The “end-user” group(s) I represent and/or belong to are: • National Engineering Design Firms (AEC) • and our Clients… • Professional Surveyors • Remote Sensing Professionals • GIS Professionals • Geocachers • Industry vendor(s) I rely on to do my NSRS related work are: • Our Clients – often have their own survey staff, standards and systems • Our Subconsultants – Other Surveying & Remote Sensing Firms • Other Government Agencies – USACE, FAA, NAVFAC • Hardware/Software Providers

  3. Example “Use Cases” I frequently use the NSRS to... • Establish Primary Control • Obtain Control Information for Mobile LiDAR Trajectory Processing • Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS) • Control Points for Static Base Station during Collection • Validate Existing Observations • Prepare surveys requiring reference to known systems – horizontal/vertical “Geospatial” products/services that I frequently use include… • CORS Data • OPUS and OPUS Projects • Survey Mark Datasheets • NGS Coordinate Conversion and Transformation Tool (NCAT) • Datum Transformations • Legacy Systems • Advisory

  4. Challenges & Opportunities • Using today’s NSRS… • Challenges I encounter, or improvements I would like to see in products from NGS and/or vendors, include: • Availability/Reliability of Documented Control • Currency of Mark Recovery • Too many “False Positives” • Virtual versus Physical Stations • Education & Outreach • After NSRS Modernization… • Challenges I anticipate encountering, or improvements I would like to see in future products/services from NGS and/or vendors, include: • Communicating changes to our clients and stakeholders • Avoid complete departure from Physical Monuments for Reference Stations & GNSS • Collaboration with Stakeholders • Education and Outreach
