The Oklahoma Military Airspace Compatibility Mapping Portal was funded by the Department of Defense Office of Local Defense Community Cooperation under the management of the Oklahoma Department of Aerospace and Aeronautics. Representatives from local governments, state departments, the renewable energy industry, and military installations in Oklahoma participated in the development of the portal.
OMACAMP Airspace Visualization Tool
The Oklahoma Military Airspace Compatibility Mapping Portal is designed to provide information to assist with the siting and early coordination of renewable energy projects and tall structure development between developers, local, regional, state, and federal stakeholders, and military installations within Oklahoma. Early coordination can benefit these projects by identifying potential concerns and mitigation opportunities across all stakeholder groups that can improve efficiency in project approvals, ultimately saving developers time and cost.
The portal provides information to help inform the project planning process for the development industry, state departments and agencies, counties and municipalities, the military, and other affected stakeholders. The portal combines an array of geographic map layers along with other pertinent data and corresponding contact information:
- Military installations and areas where military operations are conducted across the state
- Existing structures within Oklahoma airspace including wind turbines, communication towers, transmission lines, and radars
- Areas of energy development opportunity, including solar potential and wind potential
- Land ownership, including jurisdiction boundaries, councils of government, tribal lands, federal land holdings, and state land holdings and leases
- Environmental public lands
- FAA airspace sectional charts
The data layers contained within the portal provide preliminary information and coordination points of contact only. Military operational areas depicted do NOT constitute automatic exclusion areas for renewable energy or tall structure development, and the military may determine that development could be compatible with the missions in these areas, with or without mitigation. The use of the portal does not replace other coordination, planning, and review requirements at the local, state, and federal levels, and is not intended for project-specific analysis

Identify Areas of Interest
Create custom Areas of Interest by drawing a shape or uploading a file to get an output display of features that intersect those areas and associated contact information.
Select Hot Buttons
Hot buttons on the top right of the portal provide easy access to layers displaying relevant information for select stakeholder groups: Military, Wind Development Industry, Counties, Cities and Towns, State Lands, and Federal Lands.

Create Coordination Reports
Create and save Coordination Reports in Adobe PDF, Microsoft Excel workbook, or HTML formats. The Coordination Report is a summary of relevant information to facilitate early communication with potential stakeholders when considering energy development within a user-defined area. The Coordination Report displays a map view of the area along with individual features that intersect the defined area including all points of contact associated with each feature.
The Oklahoma Military Airspace Compatibility Mapping Portal has been tested and is compatible with both Firefox 97 and Google Chrome 97.
For best performance, avoid operating the portal using Internet Explorer or Edge.
The Print to PDF function has been tested using Adobe Acrobat Reader release 20.004.30020.
The Excel button has been tested using Microsoft Office 365.
This report describes the military installations and military operational or influence areas throughout Oklahoma including Military Training Routes, Special Use Airspace, other types of military airspace, and military radars. The report discusses renewable energy and tall structure development in Oklahoma, such as tall buildings or transmission lines, and their potential impacts on military operations. The report concludes with a section on the importance of coordination and opportunities for early mitigation, as well as recommendations for enhancing early coordination processes between developers and the local military installations.
