Survey Team Estahlishes New Geodedic Control

摘要

The Army Geospatial Center (AGC), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), sent survey team members to the U.S. Army Engineer School (USAES), Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, the week of 4-8 June 2018. Their mission was to establish coordinates on several new survey monuments installed by Military Occupational Specialty 12T, Technical Engineer Instructors, at Brown Hall for inclusion into the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). USAES, AGC, and Combat Terrain Information Systems (CTIS), which is chartered under the Program Executive Office, Intelligence Electronic Warfare & Sensors, formed a survey team and spent several days surveying six new control points as well as observing two existing NSRS control points with North American Vertical Datum of 1988 elevations. CTIS provides modern combat engineer and survey capabilities that streamline terrain management, reconnaissance, and surveying. AGC submitted the coordinates for the new monuments, which consist of USACE brass survey disks mounted in concrete (Figure 1).
