The RADC Cartographic Test Standard.
Abstract
A Cartographic Test Standard (CTS), has been designed and fabricated for utilization in the RADC Experimental Cartographic Facility (ECF). The CTS exists in two forms: digital and graphical. The digital version is the original 'master' standard; from it the graphical standard was produced directly on a glass substrate using an extremely high accuracy of digital plotter, photoresist imaging, and etch-and-fill image fixing techniques. The CTS design was based on an analysis of both current and anticipated ECF hardware and software capabilities, chart finishing requirements of the Aeronautical Chart and Information Center (ACIC), available technologies capable of test standard fabrication, and a variety of digital and graphical techniques for error determination. The function of the CTS is to test the resolution, repeatability, and accuracy of the complement of digital/gr phic equipments employed within the ECF. (Author)
