Defense Mapping Agency Digital Data Base Evolution,

Abstract

The Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) has massive amounts of MC&G digital data holdings resulting from programs to support DoD advanced weapons systems and automated map and chart production. The digital data is used to support the DoD and NATO countries as well as internal DMA production. DMA requires a digital data base to maintain, store, retrieve, compare, and report on this MC&G digital data. This paper addresses current DMA efforts that will evolve into an on-line interactive, distributed, networked data base system and its associated environment for data handled by HQ DMA and the DMA Production Centers.
