What is it about?
Discrete Global Grid Systems (DGGS) provide a way to represent the surface of the Earth in many equal-area geometric shapes. This provides a flexible and efficient solution for integrating diverse types of spatial data in one same model. This paper presents a methodology for applying DGGS and its advantages to modeling the National Airspace System.

Why is it important?
The airspace environment is experiencing a rapid increase in complexity as a result of the integration of new types of air vehicles and operations, such as Urban Air Mobility operations, and the continuous growth of air traffic volumes. The DGGS methodology presented in this paper provides one avenue for trying to better understand this complex problem and its constituent parts.
