As air traffic volume increases and as population encroachment around most airports continues, the impacts of noise will grow. This condition requires tools to help visualize, analyze, and mitigate noise's environmental impact on communities and on natural environments. ArcGIS allows you to understand affected populations, and it can be integrated with parcel information to support land-acquisition and sound-mitigation plans.

Airport and aviation leaders have become increasingly aware of aviation dangers posed by wildlife populations near airports. ArcGIS sets the standard among airport wildlife managers for documenting bird strikes and wildlife movements and inventories, and for designing mitigations based on habitat management. The increasing use of ground-based radar supports real-time threat mitigation efforts with GIS.
