• Description:
  The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) is modernizing the National Spatial Reference System (NSRS) in the United States. The modernization involves significant updates to the official reference frames and vertical datum used across the country, affecting the entire geospatial industry. Key benefits of the Modernized NSRS will include improved accuracies and enhanced interoperability and sustainability of geospatial data and systems. The ASPRS NSRS Modernization Working Group produced this paper to help prepare the geospatial industry for the upcoming changes. It serves as a guide for industry professionals to understand the implications of the Modernized NSRS and recommendations to begin preparing for it. It emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to ensure a smooth transition to the new reference frames and vertical datum.
