ARC Digitized Raster Graphics and Their Application

Abstract

ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (ADRG) are digitized replicas of hard copy source maps and charts that the Defense Mapping Agency produces on CD- ROM(Compact Disc-Read Only Material) for distribution. The ADRG process converts the hard copy source, datum, and projection to WGS84 and the Equal ARC-Second Raster Chart/Map (ARC) projection which permits a worldwide seamless data base for map data of a given scale. Products currently available are: Operational Navigation Charts (ONC) at 1:1,000,000, Tactical Pilotage Charts (TPC) at 1:500,000, Joint Operations Graphics (JOG) at 1:250,000, Topographic Line Maps (TLM) at 1:50,000 and Jet Navigation Charts at 1:2,000,000. Many are available for public sale. ADRG data is best suited for use as raster background images for GIS (Geographic Information System) applications. Within DoD, ADRG currently supports the Navy's AV8B program and the Army's Maneuver Control System.
