Moving-Map Composer: A GUI-Based Map Design System for Navy Aviators.

摘要

Navy aviators require current, accurate, and easily accessible digital chart data to drive aircraft moving-map displays and provide enhanced situation awareness in the cockpit. In support of this requirement, scientists from the Naval Research Laboratory have developed a software tool known as the Moving Map Composer (MMC) to help pilots and mission planners design and build mission-specific, digital, aeronautical chart coverages. MMC plays a major role as a human-computer interface by enabling pilots to effectively perform a wide variety of aeronautical chart planning functions, including the design and construction of chart image from user-specified data for use in mission planning systems and in-flight moving-map displays. This poster provides an overview of MMC and describes how its development and enhancements are driven by user needs.
