Abstract

In recent years, the need for information about the terrain is no longer satisfied with the using of only topographic maps in paper form. The lack of informativeness of the map, the lack of employees from different departments who doт’t has the appropriate education, the ability to read the map complicate its use, and in some cases, even limit its use. For solving a number of the problems, that the automated analysis of the territory state is included, the detailed information about the spatial position of objects in a digital form requires. To date, the most of the information contains the geographic data that is the important information in the structure of the national security. According to the features of the modern information technology, the location data must be organized in databases. When creating databases, the user seeks to arrange the information by various features, so that if necessary, they can quickly search, analyze and process it. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that can be used in different fields and can operate at different levels can help in this. The scope of GIS using is very wide. Today it is difficult to imagine the spatial modeling and analysis of the planning, management, evaluation of the results of many modern information technologies, the study of natural resources, the management of the armed forces and weapons, without the GIS using. Thus, with the helping of GIS, the digital databases are created and used, which are the basis of the digital and electronic terrain maps of different scales. In this article the information structure of the spatial database of digital map data of scale 1: 500 000, 1: 1 000 000, created by the Topographic Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is considered, and its features are determined with the purpose for the further development of the technology for the creation of topographic maps of scale 1: 500 000, 1: 1000,000 according to NATO standards (TPC, ONC) using ArcGIS software
