Terrain-Based Mission Planning Workstation

摘要

The U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center (TEC) awarded a Small BusinessInnovative Research (SBIR) contract in July 1990 to Horizons Technology, Inc. (HTI) for the development of an advanced Terrain-Based Mission Planning Workstation (TMPW). The TMPW will apply terrain visualization techniques with advanced decision aid algorithms and related technologies to support the battlefield commander's mission planning processing needs. The TMPW is intended for use at the brigade, battalion, or lower echelons to provide the commander the capability to visualize a battle area and perform a wide range of analyses using terrain data, current operations/intelligence data, weather information, and planning support templates. Operationally, the system is being designed to support the Army Command and Control System (ACCS) community and is being implemented on the Army's Common Hardware Software (CHS) equipment.
