ICS map server version 9 overview

ICS map server is a GIS management companion tool to ATDI's RF modelling software HTZ warfare and ICS telecom. ICS map server's development is focused on converting public or private source raster and vector based GIS information into ATDI's proprietary cartographic formats which are:

• digital terrain models (*.GEO)
• georeferenced imagery (*.IMG/*.PAL)
• clutter (*.SOL)
• building footprint and elevation data (*.BLG)

Extensive production functions are also available through ICS map server including the ability to produce three dimensional digital cartographic models from raw resources namely:

• multispectral satellite imagery for clutter extraction (Landsat7, SPOT, etc.)
• stereoscopic aerial photography for clutter and building height extraction (USGS National Aerial Photography Program, Canadien National Air Photo Library, etc.)
• digitally scanned paper maps for clutter extraction and production of terrain models (topographic maps, etc.)

ICS map server specializes in importing various public and mlitary GIS data formats such as:

Some of the various terrain model formats supported:

• NASA's SRTM
• USGS's SDTS and NED
• US DoD DTED
• ASTER
• GTOPO

Some of the various imagery formats supported:

• DRG
• ADRG
• CADRG
• USRP
• VMAP
• DFAD
• GEOTIF (2D and 3D)
• JPEG
• JPEG2000
• Bitmap

ICS map server also offers automated GIS production features for creating ATDI ready cartographic datasets from a customer Worldwide Project Builder interface. ATDI users can connect to ATDI servers to produce terrain and imagery data for use with HTZ warfare and ICS telecom through a simple to use interface.
