Functional Decomposition of Modeling and Simulation Terrain Database Generation Process

Abstract

The construction of terrain databases is a complex and dynamic procedure. Every terrain database addresses a unique set of simulation federate needs and data availability. This report documents the conceptual procedure as implemented by Lockheed Martin Simulation, Training, and Support and decomposes terrain database construction using the Integration Definition for Function Modeling (IDEF ). This report includes sufficient detail to conceptually describe the process and provide a foundation for discussion of new and existing terrain database construction efforts among stakeholders with varying levels of technical expertise.
