Moving Map Composer: A Tool for Consolidating Tasks Associated With the Design, Creation, and Management of Digital Aeronautical Chart Products for Navy Aircraft

Abstract

Scientists from the Naval Research Laboratory at Stennis Space Center (NRLSSC) have developed a software tool called Moving Map Composer (MMC) to help aircrew design and build mission-specific digital aeronautical chart coverage for use in mission planning systems and inflight moving-map displays. Aircrew can also use MMC to edit and incorporate other sources of information into these mission-specific coverage files MMC is comprised of a series of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and low-level C language applications that Simplify complex tasks including data fusion, chant design, editing, and file management. This paper provides a functional overview of MMC and its applications Design issues that were encountered during the course of product development and the methods that were created for their resolution are also addressed.
