 Creating Correlated Geographical Databases for an Aircraft and Support Systems Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Göran Ancker An operational military aircraft system does not only consist of the aircraft but also ground based support systems. In the aircraft there are databases for the electronic map and the navigation subsystem. In mission planning and evaluation systems there are databases for terrain analysis, 3D-visualization, 2D-map visualization etc. In the training simulator system are the databases for Out-the-Window visualization, IR/Radar sensor imaging, Instructor/Operator Station 2D-maps and, of course, a copy of the aircraft databases. This paper describes design principles and architecture of the Digital Map Generating System (DMGS) developed to support the Swedish Gripen fighter and its support systems with correlated databases. The DMGS has three basic functions . Import geographical data from different formats and store them in a database. . A core system with database for storage of geographical data and editor to modify and adjust geographical data. . Export modules that export selected data Göran Ancker Saab AB, Aerosystems SE-581 88 Linköping None SE Phone: +46 (0)13 18 32 E-mail: goran.ancker@saab.se |
