| description | The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) that includes
military geospatial information will play a key role in the Revolution of Military
Affair (RMA) for future warfare. The Terrain Analysis (TA) database is one of the
military geospatial information that needs to be established in the Malaysian Armed
Forces (MAF) in order to enable various Military Geographic Information System
(MGIS) to perform analyses and produce Tactical Decision Aids (TDA) products.
This study focused on the establishment of TA database structure that
consisted of several layers namely Surface Configuration - Slope, Vegetation,
Surface Material - Soils, Surface Drainage, Transportation and Obstacle Layers. A
prototype T A database was established in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the
database in generating Cross Country Movement (CCM) map. Results revealed that
the topographic data from Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia in
Topologized Topographic Mapping (TTM) database, soil data from Department of Agriculture and the analyses of IKONOS imagery and ground data collection using
GPS Geo Explorer 3 have contributed significantly to the development of prototype
TA database. GIS technology was thoroughly utilized in implementing a user
interface menu and CCM map from prototype TA database. Results showed that GIS
technology has provided a powerful tool in successfully generating both products. |
