TERRAIN INFORMATION - ENG DEV

Abstract

The Project Director for Combat Terrain Information Systems (PD CTIS) is responsible for developing topographic support systems for the Army. CTIS systems provide automated terrain analysis, terrain data management and graphics reproduction in support of Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB), Command and Control, Terrain Visualization, weapons and sensor systems, and other topographic information customers. CTIS consists of the Digital Topographic Support System - Light (DTSS-L), DTSS-Heavy (DTSS-H), DTSS-Deployable (DTSS-D), DTSS-Base (DTSS-B) and the High Volume Map Production (HVMP) equipment. A Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) program will be conducted to address technology insertion, technology refreshment of Commercial Off-the-Shelf equipment and modernization initiatives for the Topographic Support System (TSS). Experimentation results from the Div XXI Army Warfighter Experiment (AWE) identified technological enhancements necessary to support the First and Second Digital Divisions (FDD) and the Transformation Brigades. CTIS systems support the Legacy to Objective transition path of the Transformation Campaign Plan (CTP).
