Military Tactical Overlays

Military Tactical Overlays

Powerful support for military overlays

Carmenta’s geospatial technology supports tactical symbols and graphics in accordance with the MIL-STD-2525 and STANAG 2019 APP-6 standards, and contains a range of features that facilitate the development of C4ISR applications.

Data-driven Visualization

Our robust development tool is designed to address the complexities associated with integrating intricate military overlays within a Command and Control System. The data-driven visualization and comprehensive symbol management ensure that the presentation remains current at all times. It is straightforward to implement real-time situation displays that include advanced symbology.

Ready-to-use implementation of the MIL-STD-2525B (change 1), MIL-STD-2525C, MIL-STD-2525D, and NATO STANDARDS APP-6B and APP-6D symbol standards.
Supports MIL-STD-2525 Appendix A, B, D, and E.
For APP-6B all point symbols in the 1.X hierarchy are supported.
Provides an API for handling the full MIL-STD-2525 and APP-6 metadata. The metadata contains descriptions of the tactical symbols and can be used to create data-drive symbol editor dialogues.
A group storage component which offers advanced support for hierarchical grouping of tactical symbols, with functionality for automatically generating convex hulls around groups. The convex hull polygon is calculated in real-time and works with moving objects.

Key Features

Visualization parameters such as size, affiliation colors, transparency, halo, fill, and icon can be set individually per object or collectively per layer.
Tactical symbol are specified using SIDC identifiers which makes it very easy and quick to define tactical objects.
Supports dynamic moving and rotating 2D and 3D views.
Easy-to-use APIs for .NET, Java, and C++.
Support for hardware accelerated graphics and display of several thousands of moving tactical symbols, even on low-end rugged systems.
Built-in support for creating and interacting with tactical symbols and and graphics.
