HIRUS: High Resolution Urban Specific Data Requirements Survey Findings

Abstract

This Survey was conducted to determine the need for high resolution urban specific data to support US Army activities. It was sent to 41 selected organizations who had expressed prior interest in this type of information. Fifty-two usable responses were evaluated. These responses collectively establish a need for highly detailed information, at a nominal scale of 1:5.000, to support a wide number of users and applications across the operations, intelligence, modeling and simulation, research and development and training environments. The primary application areas that need these data are simulation/modeling and mission planning/rehearsal according to the responses received. Most indicate an interest in multi-scale data with the focus on 1:5,000 or larger scales. Nearly one-half of the responses said high resolution data was 1.5 meters or less. They wanted a data set capable of supporting advanced terrain visualization, line-of-sight analyses and detailed information on cultural and natural features for many divers tasks and applications. They expressed sophistication in their desires for data set content and manipulation techniques. The potential users want the capability to integrate this data with other forms of data to provide an interlinked multi-media capability.
