The Application of the Cross-Platform MGIS in the Equipment Maintenance Support Simulation

Abstract

At present, the Military Geographic Information System(MGIS) is applied in many equipment maintenance support activities. With the extensive application in getting, storing, handling, analyzing the battlefield environmental information and making supplementary decision for commanders, MGIS makes it more informative, visible and intelligent in the maintenance support. However, a mass of system applications are facing with the different constraints when spanned between different software and hardware platforms. MGIS has met so large a bottleneck in Cross-Platform experience that many systematic functions can not be used and the performance declined severely. Therefore it is a hot spot in the research of the new Cross-Platform technology for MGIS. A Cross-Platform Military Geographic Information System is put forward, which is based on many components. With the technique, the complicated MGIS software is divided into different function components which can be random combined and mutually manipulated under a certain standard. MGIS is made more flexible and convenient integrate into the maintenance support system which has specific user pattern and platform in the less cost. Furthermore, the work structure of the Cross-Platform MGIS in maintenance support system application is detailed in the paper And a series of cross-platform component object models, graphical libraries and data access engine in the hierarchical and modular system organization are built. In the end, this technique is applied in the different software and hardware maintenance support system platform to ensure the whole process of maintenance support more reasonable and optimized. Eventually the goal of the timely and Appropriate-place maintenance support is realized.
