Precision Navigational Filmstrips for Use in DoD Aircraft.

Abstract

The Defense Mapping Agency Aerospace Center (DMAAC) has been producing high resolution precision aircraft navigation filmstrips since 1969. These filmstrips are used in various type projection systems within Department of Defense (DoD) aircraft to provide the pilot/flight crew with a screen display of position and progress relative to the real world in real time. Superimposed on the projected chart image is an aircraft position symbol that appears to move across the display screen in the direction and at a speed proportionate to that being flown over the ground. DMAAC has produced numerous filmstrips for several operational aircraft today and is currently producing filmstrips for test and evaluation in new aircraft systems which will require support well into the 1980s.
