Abstract
This thesis presents an interactive computer program called MASK
which generates radar and optical line-of-sight coverage envelopes
based on terrain masking and refractive propagation effects. MASK is
designed primarily as an aid in planning air strikes against radar
defended land targets and has additional applications to air defense
network planning. A large digital terrain data base provides extensive
coverage of potential areas of interest to the tactical planner.
