Human Factors Study: Vector Map Evaluation for TAMMAC

Abstract

The Tactical Aircraft Moving Map Capability (TAMMAC) Program (NAVAIR PMA-209) has identified the use of vector map products as a high priority growth item. The TAMMAC Program will conduct an EME) effort during FY03-FY05 to incorporate the use of vector map data, specifically, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's (NIMA) Vector Product Format (VPF) standard. In support of this effort, the Naval Research Laboratory was tasked to evaluate the potential functional benefits of vector map data and specific NIMA vector map products. This study focused on the functional aspect of using vector maps in the cockpit. The results from this effort are to help develop and refine the implementation requirements of vector maps as a growth item in TAMMAC and influence requirements for future map displays. In addition, the results are to help segregate the mission planning aspects of vector map mission planning from cockpit functional needs.
