The implementation of digital moving map systems (DMS) aboard tactical naval aircraft has resulted in a dramatic shift from the use of paper charts to digital chart products for naval mission planning and navigation. A DMS computer stores all of the digital maps that are required for a particular mission and displays up-to-date threats, intelligence, or other information as pilot-selected overlays to the base chart. An effective DMS provides pilots with precise, hands-off route selection and navigation information (Fig. 8). The DMS that is currently used on AV-8B Harriers and F/A-18 Hornets was originally designed for night-attack air missions, since the system provides valuable positional information when visual flight navigation is limited. In direct support of these navigation and mission planning systems, the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) is developing the Compressed Aeronautical Chart (CAC) database 1....
