map data. The authorizations and notifications will be instantly transmitted back to the
facility for which the author ization/notification was made.
The agency will be deploying the LAANC tool in the following facilities by the end of
CY2017 - MIA, CVG, ZMP, LNK, R NO, SJC, PHX, ANC/LHD , and MRI. Initial training
has been scheduled at these s ites prima rily for the month of October. Provided all goes
well at the initial sites, the LAANC tool will be deployed in facilities ac ross the NAS
throughout CY2018. The initial deployment will simply replace the manual process in
which notifications are a ccepted an d authorizations are approved. The tool itself will be
used solely by staff support/manage ment during the initial phase. It is envisioned the
future iterations will be incorporated into operations.
