Tactical use of digitized maps
tacticaluseofdig00gaff.pdf (5.337Mb)Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the problems and possibilities of developing a digitized mapping system for the ground tactical commander. The specific tactical units targeted were the Marine Infantry regiment and below. Particular emphasis was placed on the microcomputer as the implementation hardware. A review of the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) database was conducted and related Department of Defense programs were studied. To develop insights and to provide a graphical tool for understanding the problems of a digitized mapping system, a Prototype was developed. It was determined that current microcomputer technology and DMA data bases provide the capability to develop and field an adequate, if not optimum, digitized mapping system.
