ArcGIS Spatial Analyst is an extension to ArcGIS Desktop that provides tools for comprehensive, raster-based spatial modeling and analysis. Using ArcGIS Spatial Analyst, you can derive new information from your existing data, analyze spatial relationships, build spatial models, and perform complex raster operations.

Self-documenting models make it easy for others to understand the spatial analysis process applied, examine what-if scenarios, and compare results.
