Abstract
The U.S. Air Force evaluated the Full-Color Remote Map Reader built by Thomson-CSF of France under the Foreign Weapons, Equipment, and Technology Evaluation program. The unit is used in a military aircraft to provide a moving map video display for the aircrew. Map data is contained in a 65-foot roll of 35mm film at 11.4:1 reduction, which allows approximately 550 sq. ft. of aeronautical charts of any standard scale to be stored in one cassette. The unit moves the film with microprocessor-controlled servo motors and performs scanning, rotation and zoom with a microprocessor-controlled flying spot scanner. It obtains navigation data from the aircraft MIL-STD-1553 data bus and presents video on a full-color, shadow-mask cathode ray tube. The evaluation determined that the moving map display is useful in several Air Force missions, and that the French map reader technology is roughly equivalent to devices recently developed in the U.S. (Author)
