The modern pilot concurrently uses sophisticated navigational equipment and old-fashioned maps for missions sometimes covering thousands of miles and several targets. The utilization of paper maps for the duration of the mission has increasingly become a time-consuming hindrance, in view of the pilot's other responsibilities. Now it is possible to have this burden of map management shifted from the pilot to the digital map computer (DMC) and computer programmer. The digital map computer can store all the maps the pilot needs and then display them in a hands-off environment, or it can serve as a graphics workstation to allow the pilot to enter new threat and intelligence information or other overlay data. Management of the digital maps and overlays while the aircraft flies at supersonic speeds is the subject of this paper.
