Abstract
The modern tactical commander has a flood of sensory and intelligence information
at his disposal. A tool is required to sort that information, allowing the commander to
choose the information that is most pertinent to the decisions he must make at that time.
This study is the preliminary work on the command and control workstation of the future.
The focus of this effort is in two areas. One is a user interface using multiple windows
and a mouse controlled cursor. This interface allows the user to set up the display to give
him the information he needs in a way that is easy for him to interpret. The second focus
is preliminary work on a real-time display that presents the user with a three-dimensional
picture of the situation. This initial display uses three resolutions to display large areas of
Defense Mapping Agency Digital Terrain Elevation Data with near real time animation.
