Introduction
Today's defense operations require full appreciation of the battlefield environment, both for mission planning and execution. Applications such as C4ISR systems need to:
Aggregate incoming data from multiple sources and grid data fields (satellites, UAVs, GPS, or other deployed sensors in network-enabled environments).
Create a Common Operational Picture (COP) that mixes all of the above information to create exhaustive and meaningful battlefield representations.
Display data in an intuitive, standardized, and user-friendly human-machine interface (HMI) across all levels of operational support to provide a standard set of representation symbols (symbology) that improve operators' ability to make rapid decisions and reduce the risk of errors.
Rogue Wave JViews Maps for Defense is the solution to help you deliver such displays providing:
Performance together with multithreaded development components, which enable more responsive applications, leave more CPU for other application-intensive tasks, and result in a better end-user experience.
Flexibility, so that you can easily enrich existing applications or design and build new ones according to your requirements.
Richness, to minimize your coding work.
Rogue Wave JViews Maps for Defense consists of development libraries and a set of tools that handle both the map background and the symbology to be placed on top of it. These symbols are graphic objects that represent the assets and the entities you need to visualize at their given locations. With Rogue Wave JViews Maps for Defense you can:
Prepare your maps either programmatically or with the map preparation tool. This allows you to import map data and control precisely the look and feel of its representation. You control what you want to see, when and how.
Create custom interactive and data-driven symbology or use the MIL-STD 2525b, NATO APP-6a or S52 libraries provided to represent the monitored entities.
Facilitate mission planning and the placement of entities using the Terrain Analysis features.
Efficiently animate the maps and symbols you have created with leading-edge performance even on large data sets and numerous animated entities.
Delivering these displays requires extensive and in-depth knowledge of both mapping and efficient graphic displays. Rogue Wave JViews Maps for Defense hides the complexity of building such displays by handling all of the lower-level "mapping engine" functionality. Java developers can concentrate on the data they want to display, rather than map formats, projections, efficient management of huge data sets, overlapping labels, spatial reference systems, and so on. As with all Rogue Wave JViews products, Rogue Wave JViews Maps for Defense can easily be deployed as an application, Java Web Start, or interactive thin-client applications.
