Abstract
 Battlespace Terrain Reasoning and Awareness Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Daniel Visone Terrain and weather effects represent a fundamental, enabling piece of battlefield information supporting situation awareness and the decision making processes within C4ISR. These effects can both enhance and constrain force tactics and behaviors, platform performance (ground and air), system performance (e.g., sensors) and the soldier. The BattleSpace Terrain Reasoning and Awareness (BTRA) program focuses on the development of software analytics designed to create information and knowledge products that capture integrated terrain and weather effects and develop predictive decision tools to exploit those products. Through a Memorandum of Agreement between the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Topographic Engineering Center is developing and delivering BTRA software components built upon ArcObjects to meet Analytical requirements of the Commercial Joint Mapping Toolkit Version 9. This paper will focus on the development and functionality of the BTRA Spiral 2 engines that will be transitioned to CJMTK.
