Digital Moving Maps

Real-Time Navigation for Mission-Critical Situational Awareness

Digital Moving Maps (DMM) are advanced avionics tools that provide real-time situational awareness by displaying an aircraft's position and movement over detailed, georeferenced maps. These systems integrate GPS data, terrain elevation, and mission overlays, offering dynamic visual navigation for pilots and mission operators. Digital moving maps are essential for military, search and rescue (SAR), surveillance, and emergency response operations, enabling precise navigation, mission planning, and decision-making.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Situational Awareness: Provides real-time visual navigation with accurate GPS and terrain data.

  • Improved Safety: Displays 3D terrain features and obstacles, enabling safer flight paths in low-visibility environments.

  • Mission Efficiency: Custom overlays and flight planning tools streamline operations and enhance mission execution.

  • User-Friendly Operation: Interactive controls allow mission operators to adjust maps and focus on critical data.

Applications of Digital Moving Maps

Digital Moving Maps (DMM) provide real-time situational awareness, enhancing navigation, mission planning, and decision-making across military, SAR, and emergency operations.

For military and ISR missions, DMM displays real-time aircraft location, flight plans, and tactical overlays, integrating target coordinates, sensor feeds, and mission grids for efficient surveillance and reconnaissance. In search and rescue (SAR), these maps improve navigation and coordination, helping teams locate survivors, map search zones, and navigate complex terrains.

During disaster relief, DMM facilitates aerial assessments by mapping affected areas, infrastructure, and operational zones, aiding emergency response. They also support environmental and infrastructure monitoring, overlaying inspection routes and points of interest for powerline, pipeline, and resource tracking.

In civil aviation, DMM ensures precise flight path adherence, displaying up-to-date terrain, airspace, and obstacle data, improving safety and operational efficiency across all aviation sectors.

Key Features of Digital Moving Maps (DMM)

Real-Time Position Display

Shows the aircraft’s current position, speed, and trajectory in real time over high-resolution georeferenced maps.
Integrates with GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) for accurate positioning.

3D Terrain and Obstacle Awareness

Displays terrain elevation data and identifies obstacles, improving flight safety in low-visibility or hazardous environments.
Supports terrain-following and avoidance in complex flight paths.

Mission Overlay Integration

Allows the addition of custom overlays such as no-fly zones, flight paths, targets, and mission-specific waypoints.
Ideal for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) and tactical missions.

High-Resolution Mapping Options

Supports vector and raster maps, including aeronautical charts, satellite imagery, and customized mission-specific maps.

Interactive and User-Friendly Interface

Provides intuitive touchscreen or control-panel-based interfaces for mission operators and pilots.
