TACTICAL SITUATION DISPLAY SYSTEM

DEFINITION OF LOGISTICS SUPPORT REQUIREMENTS FOR CREATION,MAINTENANCE AND EXPLOITATION OF COMPUTERIZED DATA BASES WHICH SUPPORT PILOT/AIRCREW MISSION/FLIGHT PLANNING, AND INFLIGHT NEEDS. THIS CONCEPT DESIGN STUDY ADDRESSES LOGISTICS-RELATED HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, AND DATA ARCHITECTURES FOR A TACTICAL SITUATION DISPLAY SYSTEM (TSDS) FOR SQUADRON-LEVEL EXPLOITATION BY FLIGHT CREWS, BOTH ON THE GROUND, AND IN THE AIR. WHEN THE CONCEPT IS IMPLEMENTED, AIRCREWS WILL ENJOY DMA DTEDAND DFAS-BASED PROFILE AND PLANFORM COLOR PRESENTATIONS OF FLIGHT PATHS, THREAT AVOIDANCE DISPLAYS, OVERLAYS OF IMAGERY ALONG THE ROUTE, TARGET DISPLAY, OPERATIONS ORDERS OVERLAYS, NAVIGATION DATA, INTELLIGENCE OVERLAYS, WEATHER DATA, INTER ALIA. EXTRACTS OF THE ABOVE LISTED DATA ELEMENTS WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR INTEGRATION WITH AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS FOR AIRBORNE APPLICATIONS. THE END-TO-END LOGISTICS CYCLE FOR DATA BASE SUPPORT IS ADDRESSED HERE.
