The Terrain Analyst Work Station,

Abstract

The Terrain Analyst Work Station (TAWS) project was initiated by the U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories to develop a prototype system to meet the Army requirements for providing timely and accurate terrain and environmental information used in making crucial tactical decisions. The TAWS prototype will incorporate off-the-shelf hardware and will adapt existing software to provide a capability to input soft and hardcopy source information, create, enhance and maintain geographic data bases, and generate hard and softcopy source terrain environmental products. The TAWS is intended to be operated by Army terrain analysts and will be demonstrated in the laboratory and in Army field exercises. Keywords: Digital terrain data bases. (Author)
