Land / Air / Sea Space Competition
The military manages or uses land and air space to accomplish testing , training , and operational missions . These resources must be available and of a sufficient size , cohesiveness , and quality to accommodate effective training and testing . Military and civilian air and sea operations can compete for limited air and sea space , especially when the usage areas are in close proximity to each other . Use of this shared resource can impact future growth in operations for all users . The following Land / Air / Sea Space Competition issues were identified :
• New ICON aircraft pilot school . Nut Tree Airport has potential for expansion of facilities and operations , including a new pilot school for the ICON aircraft .
• Lack of airspace control . The Class D airspace around Travis AFB does not have the usual restrictions other military installations operate under , leaving it open to general aviation and allowing congested airspace .
• Usage of unmanned aerial systems . There is a potential that an increase in unmanned aerial systems ( also known as drones ) usage could cause safety concerns for aircraft . This is an emerging issue at all military installations .
