Electronic Moving Map Development Program.

Abstract

The Air Force Flight Dynamics Laboratory has sponsored the Electronic Moving Map Evaluation program to investigate the applicability of presenting detailed map information on a high-resolution, color CRT. Selected 120NM areas centered on the English Channel and on Fulda in West Germany were digitized and displayed. Declutter and zoom capabilities were designed into the system to evaluate the content and scale factors for best pilot perception of the situation. The map was presented relative to aircraft position, speed, and heading in both the North-up and Track-up modes. Several non-map graphics, such as weapon status, were also shown.
