The Map Data Formatting Facility (MDFF) at the Naval Oceanographic and Atmospheric Research Laboratory (NOARL) is creating a library of Compressed Aeronautical Chart (CAC) data on Compact Disk-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) for the Navy and the Marine Corps. The CAC is a seamless database that is created by color and spatially compressing Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) Arc Digitized Raster Graphics (ADRG) aeronautical chart data. The CAC CD-ROMs are used for mission planning and flight operations, but they are not flown in the aircraft as the media is much too fragile to handle the typical flight environment. Specifically, the CAC provides direct support to the Navy's AV-8B and F/A-18 mission planning systems (MPS). The MPS extracts the compressed chart data from CD-ROM and loads it onto a militarized WORM (Write Once, Read Many) aircraft optical disk (AOD). The AOD is flown onboard as a replacement for traditional paper charts and filmstrip products.
