Digital map ...The US Navy is currently developing the Tactical Aircraft Moving Map Capability (TAMMAC) program to acquire a common digital map to be used in a variety of Navy and Marine Corps aircraft. Digital map requirements for both fixed and rotary wing platforms were combined with the results from human factors studies to arrive at the desired capabilities that shaped the requirements for the TAMMAC program. The resultant system offers a significant improvement in aircrew situational awareness, particularly during nap of the Earth (NOE) flight and other high crew workload flight regimes. The baseline capabilities of the system will, in themselves, allow users to tailor the digital map operation to suit the needs of their particular missions. Considerable thought has already been given to identifying and shaping the growth capabilities described for the TAMMAC system. However, a methodical study, including flight crew interaction and human factors activities, should be undertaken to guide the platforms in deciding how to manage the considerable growth capabilities offered by the system.Read More
