A topographic map as a graphic basis for presenting tactical information is consistent with the human information processing capacity required for rapid situation assessment. The primary barrier to developing a topographically based situation display has been merging the tactical image and the topographic image on a single display surface. A digital map integrated with a modern symbol generator and airborne processing power can overcome this barrier. The airborne processor can be exploited to interpret alphanumeric tactical data and transform it to a graphic representation, while the symbol generator can inset the resulting tactical image over the topographic image. A consequence of the available flexibility of this technology is an increase in the numbers and complexity of tactical data to be managed. Thus, the ultimate utility of the resulting display depends on an efficient operator interface to facilitate ineraction with data. The present paper describes the integration of a digital topographic map as a tactical data display on an OH58-D aircraft.
