Abstract
Electro-optic sensors – forward-looking infra-red and night vision goggles – are today providing a dramatic enhancement of low-level operational capability, but causing increased demands for precision navigation, situation awareness and advanced displays. Digital map displays, also available today, offer the flexibility of map presentation that is needed. In the future, terrain-referenced systems incorporating digital data bases hold the promise of the integrated flying aid and mission displays that are required for ‘all-weather’ operations. This paper describes first the fit and usage of the EO systems likely in a future combat aircraft and goes on to review the status of data-base systems. It establishes the baseline against which digital map systems and later terrain-referenced displays that exploit an elevation data base might be integrated into the aircraft.
