A Land navigation Demonstration Vehicle (LDV) was assembled which fully automates the navigation task and provides the operator with a color map display derived from Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED). The system relieves the operator of the burdens associated with the tactical use of paper maps by providing accurate 3-dimensional position information using a strapdown inertial navigation platform aided by the Sandia Inertial Terrain Aided Navigation algorithm (SITAN). The map display and navigation instruments consist of a multi-processor SANDia Aerospace Computer (SANDAC) and a commercial Image Processing System (IPS). These interactive devices allow real-time map annotation and corrections of vehicle position errors.
