Compressed Aeronautical Chart Processing Operator's Manual

Abstract

The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Map Data Formatting Facility (MDFF) has developed an efficient data processing system that compresses National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) Equal Arc Second Digitized Raster Graphics (ADRG) data into the Navy specified Compressed Aeronautical Chart (CAC) database. In September 1995, the NRL MDFF team transitioned the CAC processing system (CPS) to NIMA. Documentation that was distributed with the system included MDFF HELP (both on-line and hard copy versions), the MDFF HELP Library Design Document, and the CAC Processing Operator's Manual (this document). This manual is intended for users of the CPS. It contains all the information required to create a CAC Optical Disk Image, including descriptions of all CAC processing phases, intermediate processing steps (within these phases), and operations and maintenance functions (e.g., utility software, significant directories, and files).
