Product Name: Air Digital Map

Product Description

1. Stand alone map processor - A compact map processor, that incorporate all map generation functionality. The unit interfaces to the avionics (via MIL-STD-1553, ARINC-429, RS-422 or Ethernet), and generates video output - directly driving the MFCDs, or connected as a video input to a display processor. Digital video output is also available.

2. Digital Map Module - A digital Map module (DMM), plug-in addition to our Mission and Display Processor (MDP). This add-on module is offered to all our MDP users, allowing the upgrading of the MDP, to incorporate a digital map function. In this configuration, the DMM incorporate a powerful map processor, performing all map functions independently. This allows the implementation of map function, without loading the main avionics mission processor, freeing this processor to better perform all other avionics related functions. 

3. Map Embedded MFCD - Smart MFCD that incorporates the digital map functionality internally. This unit may be used as a cockpit mounted map, requiring no additional hardware (the map and the display are a single unit in this case), or providing a cockpit mounted MFCD, that has the digital map function, as an add-on feature. In this case, the unit functions as normal MFCD in all uses. Only upon selecting map function, the internal map module takes over, generating map functionality and display directly on the MFCD LCD display. Upon de-selecting map function, the unit returns to function as MFCD, displaying incoming video.

The digital map functionality includes:

-Scale, Rotate, move, freeze
-Continuous zoom, with automatic scale map change feature
-Build in Mass storage
-Live video window option (for sensor data)
-Data Center functionality
-Display of various formats of raster map, satellite
images, aerial photos etc.
-In flight mission editing, mission planning and reversal
(virtual view of area of interest, virtual flight of the
planned mission etc.).
-3D threats presentation
-3D corridors (Highway in the Sky type of guidance)
-Multiple layers (path, threats, tactical information,
avoidance zones, sensor coverage on the ground, airfield
guidance data, ATS zones, Minimum Safe Altitudeand more).
No practical limit to number of zones and number of
waypoints storage. Declutter of logical layers available.
-Distance measurements, LOS computations
-HSI and distance scales
-Link of waypoints and stored data, airfield and associated
data (Jeppeson charts, field frequencies of VOR/ILS/DME
etc.)
-Aural and tone warning/messages - optional

Astronautics\' digital map is offered in two basic variations:
- TerraMap-3D for fixed wing aircraft
- TerraCopter for helicopters
