Optimization of Vector Product Format (VPF) Data for Map Background Display in Army Tactical Systems

Abstract

The U. S. Army currently relies on raster products as source data for map background displays in tactical systems. In the future, The Defense Mapping Agency would prefer to support these requirements with vector products to reduce production costs and take better advantage of their new Digital Production System. Creative and innovative solutions are needed to allow map-like symbolized displays to be generated on current generation computers, within acceptable time tolerances, using vector source data. Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) under contract with the U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) has demonstrated that this can be done effectively using special indexing techniques.
