AV-8B Map System II: Moving Map Composer Software Users Manual

This report documents the Moving Map Composer MMC software system developed by scientists in NRL Code 7441. The MMC software is resident on the AV-8B Map 2 Station, which NRL designed and configured in support of AV-8B mission planners and pilots in the field. These MMC driven Map 2 Stations enable AV-8B users to perform the following functions 1 Design and build Aircraft Optical Disk AOD images from user specified Compressed Aeronautical Chart CAC and scanned chart data 2 Include emergency check lists and reconnaissance photographs in an AOD image 3 Write completed AOD images to militarized Write Once Read Many AODs 4 Evaluate failed AODs and recover from failed AOD image builds 5 Design and build Mission Planning System Compact Disk Images MPS CDIs from user specified CAC, scanned chart, and DTED data 6 Write MPS CDIs to Recordable Compact Disk CD-R for mission planning purposes and 7 Scan and compress paper charts into a CAC compatible format when CAC or Arc Digitized Raster Graphics ADRG are not available and include them in an AOD image or MPS-CDI. These Map 2 Stations will completely replace all map data functions and all optical disk image functions that are currently handled by the AV-8B Map, Operator, and Maintenance Stations MOMS.
