Digital Mapping, Charting, and Geodesy Analysis Program (DMAP). Technical Review of Tactical Ocean Data - Levels 3 (TOD3)

Abstract

The Tactical Ocean Data-Level 3 (TOD3) Performance Specification offers a definition of the content and format for this emerging standard Mapping, Chanting, & Geodesy (MC&G) product. As a vector-type product, TOD3 is designed to portray seafloor configuration, particularly in shallow water areas between 20 meters and 200 meters, along with non-submarine contacts data in a manner suitable for supporting subsurface navigation. TOD3 design is based upon the need for using it in conjunction with the Digital Nautical Chart (DNC) data for providing complete navigation information. This report presents a technical review of the TOD3 as evaluated by the Naval Digital MC&G Analysis Program at Stennis Space Center.
