Skill in performing GPS post processing through differential corrections with a GPS base station. 2. Knowledge of geospatial sciences concepts, principles, and practices including cartography, geographic information systems, remote sensing, and scientific data visualization and their applications to geospatial operations and analysis as they relate to management applications on military installations. 3. Knowledge of digital geospatial and derivative processes and products including data production, management archive, maintenance processing, applications, and the associated standards including Spatial Data Transfer Standard, Federal Geographic Committee Standards, and the Tri-Service Spatial Data Standard. 4. Knowledge of surveying principles of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional space position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually on the surface of the Earth, and are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes. In order to accomplish their objective, surveyors use elements of geometry, engineering, trigonometry, mathematics, physics, and law. 5. Skill to review and evaluate existing facility/utility management systems and to provide instruction on new state-of-the-art engineering procedures.
